If I understood this right pender county payes less taxes so therefore the county recieves less lottery fund. So if they raise the taxes we would get more but if they raise taxes we are paying for the schools after all. We rely on legestration to much to make are decisions, We the people need to start getting more involved in whats going on with are tax paying dollars. The goverment spends to much of are tax dollars on trying to make us safe. Safety first education last what concept is this. All the money spent on making automobiles safe and people still die. Enough is enough spend the money on making kids go to school and giving them the learning enviroment needed, not 50 students in one class room.
