Hickenlooper's state budget hits education, parks and prisons

Some teachers are most likely be laid off and colleges would get less money and in Colorado state parks and a prison will close because of governor John Hickenlooper budget he is submitting. It will take away 257 million dollars going to fun education for k-12. Higher education would see a 125 million dollar decrease from the current year. They will also have to move all the prisoners in jail to another prison. One of the reasons for this cut in money was so that the state's general fund will be in reserve.

I think that this is a bad decision by making all these cuts because it is taking away the education from a lot of kids who need the help to succed, and do well in their future. Doing this will cause a lot of harm and most schools need a lot of help so every student will get the help they deserve which is why the governor should not do this budget cut.
