Lottery Lies
Please note the lie implied in the pro-lottery commercial described in today's Tennessean story:
The new advertisement, paid for by Cohen's pro-lottery organization, the Tennessee Student Scholarship Lottery Coalition, shows college students tossing their caps in the air at graduation ceremonies and young children eagerly raising their hands to answer a teacher's questions.
Spot the lie? It's the pictures of "young children eagerly raising their hands." Revenue from the lottery will go to fund college scholarships, not for K-12 public schools. Not one dollar of lottery revenue will ever go to improve K-12 education. Sen. Steve Cohen' is trying to deceive you about that.
