Dear Editor,Half of our state general fund is for education. The major responsibility that we have and the largest work that we do in our state government are educating our children. As a teacher, principal and superintendent Mary Jo Taylor has lived this reality, one child at a time, benefiting generations of students over 30 years time.Those who are currently in political control of the state are working to change education from an obligation to our future generations into whatever money is left over after we keep an ever-increasing proportion of wealth for ourselves through the income tax cuts and the trigger mechanism.The Kansas Legislative Research Department has estimated that the state income tax cuts will decrease revenues for education and public services by $7 billion over seven years time.
