State Lottery

I am a 17-year-old senior attending Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana. Please understand that I am not opposed to gaming, or to moderate social gambling. However, I do take exception when our state relegates education and its finances to a simple “game of chance.”

I find it disheartening to think that our only means of raising public consciousness to the financial needs of education is through a lottery.
