JUNEAU -- A legislative committee Tuesday restored most, but not all, of the dramatic budget cuts made to public broadcasting in Alaska, but the Republican-led group mostly rebuffed restoration of numerous other cuts across a wide range of programs.
The Legislature's House Finance Committee began reviewing changes made to Gov. Bill Walker's operating budget during the subcommittee process, and in a few cases Tuesday reversed cuts.
In one politically charged confrontation, committee members objected to further budget reductions sought by Democrats that the sponsors said would reduce state costs by accepting $145 million in federal money to expand Medicaid in Alaska.
But in most cases it took Republican support, such as with the public broadcasting cuts, to restore cuts that appeared to have gone too far.
A cut of $1.7 million to public broadcasting was largely restored, with $1.5 million going back into the budget.
Rep. Bryce Edgmon, D-Dillingham, caucuses with the Republicans who lead the Legislature but urged the money be restored, saying his district relies on public broadcasting, as do many others across the state, especially in rural areas.
The Legislature's public hearings last week showed the importance of public broadcasting, he said.
"We heard that time and time again from virtually every corner of the state," he said.
But Rep. Tammy Wilson, R-North Pole, remained opposed.
"At some point we just don't have the money. We're billions of dollars in deficit," she said.
But Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks, said that while they were restoring 87 percent of what had been cut earlier, it was still a cut.
"Even the smaller cut here is too much, but in these times we'll have to live with it, and so will they," he said.
The Finance Committee also restored $10 million in the University of Alaska budget but left it with a $25 million cut. Few on either side of the debate were happy with the outcome, but Wilson defended the action.
"I know that sounds like a large amount, but this is less than a 10 percent cut," Wilson said.
Rep. Lynn Gattis, R-Wasilla, called it a "struggle to just put $10 million back in."
Rep. Lance Pruitt, R-Anchorage, noted he was an alumnus but said the budget had to be cut back.
"We can't just keep doing what were doing," he said, adding that the university system wasn't doing enough to work efficiently among its campuses, so budget cuts might encourage more efficient operations.
But Rep. David Guttenberg, D-Fairbanks, said it was still a substantial, and harmful, cut.
"The university has still taken a $25 million cut to its budget instead of a $35 million cut," he said.
Edgmon said the cut follows a cut of $16 million last year, compounding the impact.
"This is still a pretty steep phasing down of staff and curriculum," he said.
Rep. Dan Saddler, R-Eagle River, said that this year's cuts are just the start.
"We do face significant budget challenges," he said, calling this year's cut "round one."
The vote to reduce the university budget cut by $10 million passed 8-3, with co-chairs Rep. Mark Neuman, R-Anchorage, and Rep. Steve Thompson, R-Fairbanks, and vice-chair Saddler in support. Opposed were Gattis, Wilson and Pruitt.
The committee also added $700,000 to the ferry system budget, earlier cut by $10 million, but rejected calls for more to be added. But committee members who supported the cuts said they calculated that fuel cost reductions would give the ferries additional help.
Rep. Cathy Munoz, R-Juneau, said she wished more could have been restored to the marine highway budget, but most of the $10 million cut remained in place.
"That's a sizable hit," acknowledged Thompson, but he said ferry passenger trips are subsidized by the state on average 70 percent.
Rep. Les Gara, D-Anchorage, said people elsewhere in the state travel for free on highways while ferry passengers pay a share of their cost.
"The folks in Southeast actually pay to travel their roads, and their road is the marine highway," he said.
"We're very sensitive to the island communities that used the ferries as their roads," responded Thompson said. But he said drivers pay 80 percent of the cost of the roads with gas tax, tire tax and vehicle rental costs.
Wilson said the system had to take cuts, as does everyone in the state.
"Everybody just has to kind of grin and bear it sometimes," she said.
One way they'll have to bear it is with increased ferry fares, with the committee passing an amendment calling for a 4.5 percent increase in fares, which Munoz said would follow an already planned 4.5 percent increase, for a total 9 percent increase.
"It's been many years since we've had a fare increase, and I think it is appropriate," she said.
The committee also rejected an attempt to target three Department of Labor jobs named specifically in the budget cuts, including a deputy commissioner, public relations person and legislative liaison position.
"Do they need two deputy commissioners?" Wilson asked.
But Guttenberg said the subcommittee cuts appear to be aimed at specific individuals, rather than letting the commissioner decide who is needed in which jobs.
"It appears that we're targeting people, specific people," Guttenberg said.
The committee also rejected multiple Democratic attempts to restore a variety of education funding and programs that were cut from Gov. Walker's budget, often along caucus lines.
The Best Beginnings program that provides books to children was slashed, and legislators said Alaska can no longer afford to do that, though it is in itself a fine program.
Gattis said she bought books for her children, and other parents can as well, but the state couldn't do so for everyone.
"We fund libraries, but we can't fund everything for everybody," she said.
But the committee did restore funding for some job training programs.
The committee considered dozens of budget amendments during a meeting that stretched into the evening.
Pruitt angrily referred to an Alaska Dispatch News news story about questionable credit card purchases made in the Anchorage School District as evidence that schools had enough money.
"We are funding education, and they're not necessarily choosing to use the money where it needs to go," he said.
The operating budget is expected to be considered by the full House of Representatives this week, with additional attempts at amendments likely.
House Finance concluded work on amendments Tuesday. The committee will return Wednesday morning for a vote on moving the bill out of committee.

Latest Mars Exploration Rover Stories
A new image taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the space agency's Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars viewed from orbit.
Media and public are invited to attend events hosted by NASA and the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (NASM), in Washington, to commemorate 10 years of roving across Mars.
Saturday will mark the 10th anniversary of the date NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit touched down on the Martian surface.
Every year, it seems NASA announces several exciting new developments or first-ever achievements and 2013 was no different. From entering into Martian surface to leaving the Solar System, NASA continued to leave its mark on human history this past year.
Having successfully completed a software upgrade, the team operating NASA's Mars rover Curiosity now plans to check the vehicle's wheel for wear-and-tear, officials with the US space agency announced on Friday.
With a new year around the corner, redOrbit decided to take a look back at NASA's most-prized rover's accomplishments over the past year, looking at everything from breakthrough discoveries in Martian soil samples to Curiosity's 100,00th laser shot.
A giant crane will tower above NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., shooting out of a hilly mesa like an oversized erector set, ready to help test components of NASA's Low Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD) project.
A crater found on Mars is actually an ancient lakebed that would have contained the proper conditions to have supported life on the Red Planet, according to a new finding by NASA's Curiosity rover.

So you can't afford to dine at La Vieille Maison, the highly regarded French restaurant on Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton. Here's a solution: Go across the street. The restaurant also runs a charming wine store called Great Taste (285 E.Palmetto Park Rd., Boca Raton, 5613916701). The store stocks the same vintages as the restaurant at retail rather than markup prices. Great Taste also offers some striking gifts, such as carved African animals, which would make great wedding or birthday presents. So for a fraction of the price of a meal at La Vieille Maison, you can put together a picnic basket featuring a cabernet, a Camembert, and a menagerie.

I enjoyed hosting Eloisa and Dan. They communicated their schedule well, arrived on time, were quiet and pleasant to talk with. They even washed their own dishes and made the bed. Real nice people. I would welcome them back again.
Eloisa was a wonderful guest! She was so considerate, she communicated clearly, and she and Dan left our home in perfect, perfect condition. We didn't interact much, as our guests were out enjoying their vacation most of the time, but Eloisa seems like a lovely person. We would happily welcome them back any time.
Elle truly was THE perfect guest! She was like a ghost the entire three days that she was with us! Elle was up and out at the crack of dawn every morning. And, I never even got a chance to make her breakfast. When we did get the chance to hang out, we laughed and conversation was easy and comfortable. When Elle left, her room looked like it hadn't been lived in at all! To top that off, she left wine and all kinds of organic goodies for us!
It was really a pleasure to have Elle as our guest. And, we were sad to see her leave. If you get the chance to host this exemplary woman, do it! Of course, Elle is welcome back in our home any time, for sure!
We were happy to have Eloisa stay at our place. She was not around that much, but when she was here, she was quiet. A friendly person when we saw her. When she left, the place was left in a good way, which made it easy to clean. We would recommend her to anyone.
I have had the honor of knowing Eloisa for over 14 years. She was an excellent mentor and fast friend to me when we served together in Germany. From homesickness to the birth of my first born, she was a constant support to a young soldier.
Our friendship has lasted over many years and I truly enjoy knowing such a ray of sunshine! She has a constant stream of energy, love, compassion and zeal for life! Your life will forever be touched after meeting such a beautiful and genuine woman. Eloisa is a gracious host, a loyal friend, and a phenomenal wife and mother to her beautiful family!
First hand experience: Eloisa's home is warm and inviting. She is an exceptional cook and you'll never have a dull day if ask Eloise for travel tips! You may find another guest or host, but you will never find another spirit like Eloisa.

I booked this apartment for a one night stay on our way between Barcelona and Avignon. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming and helped us finding our way to the flat. It is a one bedroom flat in a shared "house". It is near Poussan but there's not much in walking distance. From the time we stayed there, it is hard to say what the neighbourhood is like, but it felt like an industrial area of a small town. The hosts forgot a few basics, but that was not an issue as I asked for them and got them straight away. I think they are still getting the hang of things, and as lovely as they felt, I'm sure it's a perfect play for a longer stay to explore the area.
On a passé un très bon week-end, l'appartement est très agréable, bien situé: pas très loin de Montpellier et de la mer. L'hôte est également gentille, arrangeante et accueillante.

Winter citrus becomes triple sec for summer margaritas and grapefruit wine for - well - anytime.
Winter to me, means grapefruits. Some people turn their noses up at these pink beauties because they find them far too tart, but I absolutely adore them. When ripe and in season, they can actually be quite sweet, in a tart kind of way.
Rio red grapefruit, straight from the farm in Texas, dried guajillo chiles for a little smoke & spice, and sugar. Three little ingredients to make your toast happy all winter long.
Put your grapefruit peels to work and make grapefruit bitters with juniper. A simple, gateway bitters recipe.
Hibiscus keeps this pink grapefruit curd rosy. A simple recipe inspired by David Lebovitz.
After a busy holiday season it is time to get back into the kitchen and put by some small batch preserves. Marmalade is traditionally made with Seville oranges, but I will be putting by a Pink Grapefruit Marmalade.
Marmalade frenzy! Pink Grapefruit Cranberry has been a BIG favorite with my peeps.
Candied blood orange, bergamot, meyer lemon, and grapefruit peels make a dee-li-cious winter treat. And you end up with scrumptious citrus simple syrup and lots of citrus juice, too.
Do you love apricots? Heck, even if you don't, you'll love these three ways to make apricot jam, with grapefruit, ginger or tangelo. Swear.
This beautiful jar contains no added sugar. With grapefruit and oranges you have all the natural acid and sugar you need. Just add boiling water and now you have sunshine and low calories in a jar.

GPISD To Hold Public Meeting About Housing Immigrant Children
GRAND PRAIRIE (CBSDFW.COM) - Grand Prairie residents will soon learn more about Dallas County's plan to house undocumented children in one of the city's schools.
Officials say there's been a lot of misinformation about using the former Lamar Alternative School building as a temporary shelter for those children.
The school has been identified as one of three possible sites to host as many as 2,000 unaccompanied children who have crossed into Texas illegally.
Earlier this month, Grand Prairie's mayor and other elected officials complained they were being shut out of the planning process for housing the children.
An informational meeting is being held at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Grand Prairie ISD education center, located on Beltline, just south of Pioneer Parkway.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.

Teachers' vote
How do you feel about English exams?
Total votes: 644
Figures do not represent public opinion as a whole
jalal naziri/IRAN
The value of exams as motivators of language learners is undeniable,it might have some drawbacks though.anxious students are suffering from stress to the extent that hinder their normal way of dealing things like even learning because of psychlogical factors. it becomes a parrot like learning with over loading memory overnight,may be they get good marks,learned materials dont last long.another disadvantage of exams with present model is language learners get used to this way of attainig good marks and they dont get enough logical practice.it's a good idea to present newer kinds of assessment like Portfolio assessment to reduce the level of anxiety among students, moreover as teachers we should know how to teach for exams.
There is a way , where there is a will.Trust yourself. Practice makes perfect.there are so many challenges such as: lack of the knowledge of the language, lesser amount of words, greater amount of none internalized linguistic rules as well as limited semantic schema, beside the other non-linguistic factors e.g. the social, economic, cultural and psychological ones.
Adriana Souza, Brazil
I think the hardest challenges are the same in any other subject... The students are normally nervous, bit their nails... In the case of English it´s more difficult (we speak portuguese in Brazil), because is another ``code´´, so we (teachers) must show them that it will be a good thing for the person, that it´s the same activity he/she did in class, more than this we must encourage and motivate them to do their best!
BALLO Chaka,Mali
So far as I am concerned, I do think that the stress caused by the fear of failure is the major source of all the chanllenges students of English may face.There are reasons of my support of that idea.First, with such fear the students become disoriented,I mean they don't know where to to start the revision.This fact obviously lead to disorder which may be more harmful to he students.In general, this fear is rooted in the pressure of the family.So I would like parents to reduce the degree of pressure to be put on their childeen
Prabha Muthukrishnan, Bangalore,India
The very mention of exams instills fear and nervousness in most of the students.As Shakeel Amajd has pointed out, a teacher must motivate and make them excited about about exams.Often due to fear students become nervous and forget whatever they have learned!A conducive and friendly ambiance must be created so as to erase fear. A weekly test will prepare them and replace fear with confidence.In my class I present tests and exams as activities which incidentally will test their comprehension and memory. Sometimes a little explanation of a question helps.Prabha Muthukrishnan
Marija Liudvika Rutkauskaite, Lithuania
Like with any foreign language, a sure way to success with English is regular study. If the student works daily, exams are not a major challenge and they are a stimulus. All that is needed is a revision. Thank you.
Jimmy Hutasoit, Indonesia
Since I teach English as a Second Language, all types of test testing listening, reading, speaking and writing bring problems to certain extent. These are the result of lack exposure to English learning sources either printed or electronic. Besides that, I personally still feel that the learning and teaching is still a content-based, not a learning skills-based one
Krzysztof, Poland
I believe that preparing for an English exam, and the fact that student have learned e.g. some new lexis, does not mean that they will be able to transfer this knowledge into actual use. Students tend to forget all they learnt once they leave the classroom. This is what worries me the most in terms of testing students.
Great teachers get their students ready for exams,they show them that it is a kind of assessment of the acquired knowledge and that they have to feel self-confident.They have to reassure them to obtain the best results since they managed to transmit information using the best ways.On the other hand students have to prepare well and know how to use the acquired knowledge to pass the exams.
Valeria, Argentina
Exams are usually very stressful for students of all ages. I think the best way to help them "relax" is to give them the chance to do tasks similar to the ones they will find in the exam regularly, and from time to time do a mock test under "exam conditions" (time limit, ...). I am convinced that giving them information about what they can expect on the day of the exam also helps to lower their anxiety.
Moslem Hashemizadeh, Iran
Teachers should take this into consideration that Exams are taeching devices. They must serve the process of teaching. In my idea teachers should not make the students too sensitive about the exams. Too much competition between the students can cause negative results.
Senee, Thailand
I think that the time for exam is not enjoyable for the students. However, the most important thing is most of them do not prepare for the exams. Some of them don't know where to start. Some cannot read or understand Englsih in the coursebook. The teachers can help them by teaching and training the students how to prepare for the test in both short term and long term.
Sergio Martínez, México
I think the hardest challenge students face is the lack of continous study and practice of the skills such as Speaking, Grammar, Listening, Reading and Writing. Once the English exam arrives students realize they need more practice on all the skills to get better results.According to my point of view we must be facilitators and create consciousness of the importance and benefits students can get by having practice of English skills on a daily basis. Stimulating these skills by promoting extra-class activities using web sites, texts, tv programmes, films and chatting through the web. All these activites will be helpful to achieve great improvements on students learning process.
As I have experienced,the listening part is the most nerve wracking one.But I believe more exercise is necessary.
Azucena, Spain
I think exams have to be seen like a normal activity in classroom, if pupils see it like that, they will find it easier. Besides, teachers can include an exam in a more relaxed context. For instance, one way of preparing a listening class, is making it funny, like a song.If pupils get used to this method to learn English, when they have to do a listening exam, they will think in a song. It is easier to face "a song" than to face an exam.
shakeel amajd, Pakistan
If the teacher is a real motivator, the class will be excited and eager about taking exams.However, the students need to take care of a few things such as making notes as the topics move on, becoming awere of the paper pattern, learning main heading and definitions word for word and taking mock exams to overcome stress. However, a certain amount of exam stress is also required to bump up extra energy; otherwise, students sometimes fail to use the time at their disposal. Teachers must teach their students exam coping stratigies. They extremelly help students overcome their fear and stress.
Michelina, Italy
I think organization and precision are vital when preparing for an exam so it's also the teacher's responsibility to make the student be aware of this. Very often, the confusion in their work reflects the kind of feedback you're likely to get!
Okpokam,Rita: Nigeria
Grammar, I do believe is the biggest obstacle students of English face.Over the years I still can't understand why. We do need to stress more oral work and more reading for fun.More essay writing, given not as homework but in the class so mistakes are brought out right there and discussed.
Tariq, Pakistan
I think the fear of failure affects students performance as well as learning. Students should be encouraged to enjoy what they learn, this is very essential in learning a second language. Once they begin to enjoy learning and using language, without fear of failure in the exams, that will positively affect their performance and learning.
Virginia, Uruguay
One of the biggest challenges teachers have to face, not only while preparing exams but also all over the academic year is realizing that no matter how hard you have worked, students in general don't read (even in their native language). You have to train students on reading and understanding prompts and tasks, as well.Many students found out they had to improve the way they use their native language through English lessons.
Diwakar Marandi, India
For some students Exams bring fever but some enjoy them. Students must take exams just as a daily judgement taken by the teachers, for that they have to do their daily revision, then only they can take it easy, otherwise it is really a head-ache.
Hanh, Viet nam
English exams can be of many kinds, such as: oral (speaking), target language... I think, one of the hardest challenges is when you lack vocabulary. Students should spend time reading texts, messages, sentences before being tested so that they can consolidate words. That is maybe the best choice before an exam.
Heba, Iraq
We can help them by absorbing their stress by telling jokes and making the atmosphere of the classrom light and fun.
Mohamed, Sudan
there are so many challenges such as: lack of the knowledge of the language, lesser amount of words, greater amount of none internalized linguistic rules as well as limited semantic schema, beside the other non-linguistic factors e.g. the social, economic, cultural and psychological ones.
Inamullha, Afghanistan
Grammar is the main challenge for students as I've seen through the years of learning and teaching English. I think the students should start learning English from the beginning and after they reach a higher/advanced level they can find out their difficulties and solve their problems by themselves.

Here is some information from the Amazing Grass people—-
They really drive a pretty large bargain here, promising that mixed only with water, Amazing Grass WILL taste good. I will put them to the test with that one
" Amazing Grass Green SuperFood allows you to get the best nutrition any time of day, everyday. We've hand selected the most nutritious vibrant vegetables, cereal grasses, algae, anti-oxidant rich fruits probiotics and immune boosting support herbs and created a delicious tasting powder that can be mixed easily with water. For those that haven't acquired the taste for greens, we're confident your taste buds will love our Amazing Grass Green SuperFood!"
Amazing Grass Green SuperFood is a perfect blend of alkalizing greens, antioxidant rich whole food fruits and vegetables, immune boosting support herbs, and friendly pre & probiotics. The powder mixes so easily with water; you'll wonder how essential green nutrition could taste this good.
Click here to read about all the ingredients in Amazing Grass. Pretty crazy stuff, no?!
"Try the Amazing Grass 30 day challenge. Pay careful attention to how you feel mentally and physically before you start taking Amazing Grass. Take the recommended amount of our products twice a day for 30 days. If you don't feel healthier, we'll give you your money back.* "
Anybody with me?? I have definitely noticed an increase in my energy levels on the days when I previously choked down a glass of dirt Green Vibrance. I'm on a mission to eat as clean as possible and have the most energy as possible to help me with my athletic goals, so I am going to do this challenge. I know this stuff can be pricey, so to help out Eat, Live, Run readers Amazing Grass has generously extended a 15% discount. Just enter the code EatLiveRun at the online checkout.
When I received these products and was reading up on them all, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Amazing Meal blend has a whopping 10 grams of protein PLUS greens in it!!!! That freakin' rocks! This would be the ultimate addition to any smoothie or shake and I can't wait to try it. Review on that product this weekend.
This morning before work I was excited to try my first Amazing Grass product to kick off my 30 day challenge!
I chose the berry flavored greens for a "gentler" approach to drinking dirt greens. I decided to be hard-core again this morning and mix it purely with water because, as the Amazing Grass people claim, "it tastes great with just water!"
I am VERY pleased to announce that this was a MUCH milder "greens experience" than my prior experience. There was no strong "algae-ish" taste that I felt was present in Greens Vibrance. Granted, I tried the wussy version (berry flavored), but I was happy with this product and managed to get down the entire glass with no gagging sensation. I still think that this would be much better in a smoothie or freshly squeezed juice, but it wasn't dreadful plain.
I played it safe and tried a chocolate flavored one—
Now, I will admit that I was VERY nervous about this bar. I mean, the combination of greens in a bar form just DOES NOT sound good to me. Anyone?! I decided that I must try it though….I mean the company went through the trouble to send them for me and is obviously proud of their products. I thought I had to give it a fair shot at least and then I would never eat it again if I hated it. So, I went in for the first bite…..or, rather, nibble. The tiniest nibble ever!
Seriously! And I am totally not just saying this. It really was good! The texture was like a Milky Way bar and I loved the dark chocolate coating. I could not tell AT ALL that there were "greens" inside and instead I tasted dried cranberries and almonds. It was actually delicious. I brought one to work to give to my co-worker and my dad also tried one this morning….both said the exact same thing! They both said that they expected to have to spit it out because, well, it is greens and chocolate……..but then they actually loved it!
This bar had 230 calories and was very nutrient dense. There was zero crash mid-morning and I was left feeling satisfied all the way until breakfast, 4 hours later! Way to go, Amazing Grass! I am a tough critic and it totally passed the test.
So……all that being said…….who's with me?! Anyone up to the 30 day challenge? I have felt SO energized all day long and not consumed a single drop of caffeine. For the first time, I don't even NEED a mid-afternoon Friday nap! I am incredibly impressed and feel pretty passionate about the results here. If I can still feel full of energy after being up since 3 AM and working 9 hours, you can too! Try it!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Allan giveth, but she also taketh away
Minister ups school funding 2.2% but scraps tax-incentive grants
School property tax increases could be on the way again in Manitoba.
Education Minister Nancy Allan increased provincial funding for the public school system Monday by $25.5 million, or 2.2 per cent, for the 2012-13 school year. The province pays a total of about $1.3 billion annually to help finance the system.
That's 13 years in a row the New Democratic Party government has funded public schools at or above the rate of provincial economic growth.
But not only is the increase among the lowest since the NDP took office, Allan yanked the tax-incentive grant away from school trustees after four years of the government using it to entice them to freeze taxes in return for the extra provincial cash.
"This is a tough economic time," Allan told reporters. "Everyone in this province knows we've had an aggressive tax-mitigation policy."
The province pumped $135 million into tax-incentive grants during the last four years, and that money has remained in school divisions' base funding from the province.
But with no new TIG money and normal spending increases running far beyond Allan's operating-grant increases, trustees face the choice of increasing taxes or cutting expenses.
"I am asking school divisions to exercise restraint," Allan said. "School divisions will do their due diligence. They'll have to look at what their expenses are."
Allan refused to say what level of increases in school property taxes she would consider acceptable and was emphatic she has not told school boards to cut payroll or cap tax increases.
"School divisions have never taken tax increases lightly," said Carolyn Duhamel, executive director of the Manitoba School Boards Association. The options for trustees, who must set budgets by March 15, are "increase your revenue, cut your expenditures, or some combination of both," she said.
Duhamel said most people in public education wanted an end to TIG because of shifting criteria for eligibility, difficulty in administering it and not knowing how much a division would get from one year to the next.
But they also wanted that extra money to be part of operating grants, to be included within the funding formula rather than left outside it, Duhamel said.
Manitoba Teachers' Society president Paul Olson said teachers welcome the stability of the operating grants exceeding inflation, but also want the province to fund public education 100 per cent, so how much each division can spend is not based on the local assessed values of residential and commercial properties.
"We expect government and the divisions to adequately fund education," Olson said. "If boards need to do that (increase taxes), then boards need to do that."
MLA Cameron Friesen, the Tory education critic, said the real story Monday is Allan failed to do anything to improve student achievement, but he had no suggestions of his own.
Tax hikes, cost cuts
only options to cover rising education tab
WHY could Education Minister Nancy Allan's announcement of $25.5 million in new funding for public schools, a 2.2 per cent increase, be considered bad news?
For several reasons.
Allan also cancelled the tax-incentive grant, which over the past four years pumped $135 million into the system for school divisions that agreed not to increase school property taxes. But there won't be a fifth year of the TIG.
Spending on public schools, with taxes frozen in 33 of 37 school divisions, rose $74.9 million this year, says the province's FRAME (Financial Reporting and Accounting in Manitoba Education) report. Spending went up 3.97 per cent, which is pretty normal in recent years. That expenditure increase was covered this past year almost entirely by government operating grants and by the TIG.
But with the TIG gone, that leaves around $50 million to be found to cover increased normal operating expenses. There are only two places trustees can find that money -- by cutting expenses, which means trimming payroll, or by increasing school property taxes.
The province covers about 65 per cent of the $1.96-billion public school system's cost, so Allan's 2.2 per cent increase becomes 1.3 per cent when applied to increased funding for the entire public school system budget.
Property taxes cover about 40 per cent of the system's operating costs, so taxpayers are being left to cover the remaining 2.5 per cent increase in expenses.
Maintaining the status quo without cuts to spending would require school property taxes to go up about seven per cent.

Obama To Sandy Victims: "We Leave Nobody Behind"
Obama was out trying to "look" presidential yesterday in the wake of Sandy, and I caught this
Obama to Sandy victims "America is with you". Yeah, we were with Benghazi victims, too. But, you weren't, champ!
— WilliamTeach (@WilliamTeach) October 30, 2012
The whole "hey, look, I'm acting presidential" speech was even worse, and he said:
(Breitbart) This is a tough time for a lot of people; millions of folks all across the Eastern Seaboard, but America's tougher. And we're tougher because we pull together, we leave nobody behind, we make sure we respond as a nation and remind ourselves that whenever an American is in need, all of us stand together to make sure we're providing the help that's necessary.
As John Nolte writes
That's a beautiful sentiment, Mr. President, but where was it when the cameras weren't rolling; when your government heard three plaintive pleas for assistance from Americans under attack and with help reportedly close enough to make a difference?
John points out that it is an interesting study in reactions, one where Obama is appearing as engaged and has suspended his campaign, the other where he tuned out and hit the campaign trail to head to Vegas. It begs the question "why did the Obama administration act in that fashion post-Benghazi?" Obama could have come out smelling like a rose had he sent in forces to rescue our people in Benghazi and come out strong against this terrorist attack. Instead, people are now wonder exactly what was going on that caused the administration to leave Americans to die.
The White House Flickr stream has a bunch of photos of Obama "looking concerned" over Sandy (such as this one), but nothing from September 11 when our people were under assault.
Nice Deb is not impressed by Obama's words, nor is the PJ Tattler and The Gateway Pundit. I'm sure there will be plenty of photos of Obama "looking presidential" coming soon to be even more not impressed by.
