Ron Sparks Vows Push for Alabama Education Lottery
July 2nd, 2009Agricultural Commissioner Ron Sparks, the Democrat from Fort Payne, said he will push for an education lottery if elected governor of Alabama in 2010.
Sparks made the blockbuster announcement in a news conference in Montgomery on Thursday. His plan also calls for taxing and regulating all gambling operations across the state, as well as college and technical school scholarships for every child in Alabama.
In the announcement at his Montgomery headquarters, Sparks said too many Alabama high school graduates do not attend college or trade schools simply because they can’t afford it.
“Higher education is just a dream that costs too much,” Sparks said.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
