16. Our newly-elected city council cut funding for schools by 76%

They claim the city must have the money for police and fire protection. This could cause the loss of over 100 teachers.

The State legislature is also trying to figure out a legal way to take tax dollars earmarked for education and use them for other things. They claim the state needs the money and "the schools have a surplus".

This is Alabama. And they're claiming the schools have a surplus.
