Check out this Opinions article in the Star. It strongly criticizes the GOP proposed cuts.
Our favorite parts:
"The budget-balancing proposal floated by the state Legislature's Republican leaders on Thursday is an abomination, pure and simple.
It attacks a delicate, critical problem with a chainsaw instead of with a scalpel. The result: Arizona's public health and education system, from kindergarten through universities, would be bloodied and dismembered. "

And read Shelton's response to the cuts in the Citizen:
Our favorite part:
"In addition, the universities are a state agency that actually generates income for the state, Shelton said, pointing to the $530 million in grants brought in by UA this year.
"The universities are a solution to the budget problems that this state has, not part of the problem," Shelton said, adding that the JLBC proposal is "draconian" and would destroy higher education in Arizona "for decades to come.""
