Love listening to my long-ago (20 years) geology professor, Scott Burns (I can still ID his voice in 3 words). A 3-hour night class with the super-excited Dr Burns, it's no wonder I think geology is exciting -- and remember so much about the Missoula Floods. Thanks, Dr Burns!

I know as well as anyone that public safety needs a source of stable funding -- my husband works for the State Police and was laid off when I was seven months pregnant (he was later hired back). But, as a mother, I object to any loss of education funding because sadly education is underfunded as it is. If this measure passes, how will the education funding be effected exactly?
