"Among its key measures, the budget adds $7 million for construction of a school in Kivalina in Western Alaska, boosting the project's total legislative appropriation to about $50 million."

What?

Will the $50 million make a better school for the village kids? That is an absurd amount of money.
It's absolutely ridiculous that the state spends that much money, and so much more on the public education system. I think its time we re-think how the public education system works and who funds it! ESPECIALLY in the villages.
