Want to look betrayal in the eye?

Come time to vote, don't forget who chose to lay off thousands of state, university, city and county employees. Write them an e-mail or call and ask them why they don't support education in our state. These are the supporters of the cuts to education:

"All in all, it was as dour a day as any in recent memory as the state Capitol became ground zero for the state's budget crisis.
"E-mails have come. Phone calls have come. People have rallied," said Democratic Sen. Amanda Aguirre, recalling a week in which thousands of Arizonans descended on the Capitol. "The pleas have been there not to cut things we have right now on the table."

Legislative leaders generally ignored those pleas Thursday, moving swiftly to meet a self-imposed Feb. 1 deadline and save an estimated $160 million in additional cuts.

But cuts were watchword of the day, and public testimony on the plan was wrenching at times. "While I am one person standing here in front of you, my voice is not alone," Apache Junction resident Jessie Geroux told Senate lawmakers. She spoke in defense of state assistance for her 8-year-old autistic son, as well as members of the disabled community with her at the Capitol.
"They're not optional," Geroux said of the state programs. "They're not luxuries."
