| Governor Dave Freudenthal's State of the State Address
Finance
"There has been an unfortunate and unintended consequence of the Supreme Court's educational opinions. The opinions limit the use of school dollars to only supporting the building and operation of facilities necessary for the delivery of the educational basket of goods. Our communities have been robbed of the historic practice of building community facilities with school construction dollars. And attractive, sustainable cities and towns must have community facilities. "
Supports efforts to develop new funding partnerships between local governments and the state to provide community facilities.
HIgher Education
Supports creation of an endowment for higher education, especially the efforts toward endowed chairs. But at its current stage of development, recommends only that funds be set aside for that purpose. The release of any funds should be subject to further legislative action next year. This would allow time for a refinement of the concept, further defining the expectations and accountability needed to justify such a program and such an investment.
