Transportation
Jerry Fuhrman over at From on High, responded to this morning's transportation editorial with this post that included a pie chart showing where state money goes.
As I told Jerry in a comment on his blog, something seems off with that chart. As the text on the page he linked to says, "Looking at total operating funds from all sources, the majority of the money goes to education (39 percent), health and human resources (26 percent), and transportation (13 percent)."
Subsequent charts show transportation getting 13 percent of general revenue and 23 percent of nongeneral revenue.
I can's see how that could possibly average out to less than 3 percent of total funds.

Thanks for showing the shockingly high percentage of Virginia's budget that goes to "education".
There's so much pork there the Democrats wouldn't dare touch because they are in the pockets of the Big Education.

Correction: It doesn't go to education. It goes to government schools. None of that money goes to education in private or home schools.
