Cy Ryan of the Las Vegas Sun has a few more words:
This must be why paying taxes isn’t voluntary.
Nevada teachers — some of whom might soon be forced to take pay cuts or furloughs — should not count on a timely bonus from the fund created by Gov. Jim Gibbons to supplement their pay with voluntary donations.
As of Friday, the Education Gift Certificate program, unveiled during Gibbons’ Feb. 8 State of the State address, had received four contributions for a not-so-grand total of $261.
“It hasn’t been a big seller so far,” state Superintendent Keith Rheault said.
State officials’ plan was to distribute the donated money to teachers by the end of the year. It is being held in a trust fund and will remain there “until we get enough to do something,” Rheault said.
