Governor Henry Has FAILED
The state of Arkansas will vote in November on whether or not to start a state lottery. I hope the citizens of Arkansas will do what Oklahomans didn't do and research the history of lotteries for education. They will have to look no further than their neighbors to the west who have a failing lottery ran by a failure of a governor. Brad Henry is a sick joke. He was elected for one reason and that reason is failing. He once said that the lottery would bring in $500 million a year!!! Well that total is now $69 million, 30% of which goes to the state. The lottery has failed, Henry has failed, and Oklahoma has failed because they elected this crook twice. Democrats ruined education during their 80 years of congressional control and now they are digging the hole even deeper from the states highest office. Henry should have been impeached years ago, but instead we fall farther and farther behind other states. Henry will go down as the WORST Governor in Oklahoma history. Somewhere Steve Largent is sitting there laughing at the failure that is Brad Henry, but yet crying at the thought of how many kids go to substandard schools because of the lies of one man and the greed of the clueless citizens who voted for the fool.

So, he "failed" because he only brought 69 million?? How does that make him the "worst Gov. in Ok history"?? What OTHER Gov brought us ANY money for education??? Don't blame one man for this...we are a collective people...
Yes, he has failed. $69 million was brought in, 30% of which goes to the state. That leaves a little under $49 million. When you get elected for claiming $500 million and end up with $49 million, you have failed. And please don't be fooled, that isn't $49 million that wasn't there before because the general education fund is raided by other state programs, just like our transportation dollars. The real proof is that two years in a row Henry has promised teacher raises and then the state has been unable to afford them because of lottery shortfalls. That is failure IMO.
