Literally. Not a prostitution example but in general I remember when Colorado first legalized marijuana the revenue that it brought in was INSANE. And what'd they do with it? Invest it into their schools, how can that ever be a bad thing???? Here in Florida the powerball gives money back to state education, why can't we just allow more options for that potential revenue (because holy crap the education system in Florida is literal garbage)
Yeah, the way the law was written, it was supposed to go to building new schools. The Colorado legislature decided they'd rather spend that money on anti-cannabis PSAs and put the rest in the general fund.
I thought it was the federal government holding federal funding of schools over their heads and so the state legislature built a highway instead (the one to Vale I think?)
