From Indiana: Invest in Education

"If you build it, they will come" is a classic line from the film "Field of Dreams." In life everywhere, capital investment precedes the realization of dreams. The failure to invest is the guarantee of failure to succeed.

One of our most important investments is in education. The state provides money to augment local property taxes. Those state dollars are only to pay school employees and day-to-day expenses. The buildings are the local communities' responsibilities."

Quote from an editorial by Morton Marcus, NW Indiana Times.
