Senate Democrats Continue Offensive to Protect Education Funding in Budget

In case you missed it, Senate President Don Perata (D-Oakland), flanked by Senate President-designate Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), other Senators and education leaders, launched a high-profile and highly-effective media offensive yesterday in a concerted effort to pressure the Governor and legislative Republicans to demonstrate some political courage and take meaningful steps to stave off devastating budget cuts in schools and children programs, which would effectively sacrifice a generation of schoolchildren on the altar of partisan meanspiritedness.
 
Well, it turns out yesterday’s high-energy Budget-palooza was just the beginning.
 
Today, Senate Democrats are announcing similar events tomorrow in San Anselmo (at Brookside Elementary School), Friday in Los Angeles and next Wednesday in Oakland.
