Hmm well if I'm forced to choose between education and "business concerns".

I think I'll pick education. They claim that Washington State has a spending problem not a funding problem. The state spends a lot of money on education supposedly ($14k per student yet we're still having to close schools) so taking away funding definitely won't help the matter.
