K 12 faces a net drop of roughly 7 to 10 dollars per pupil after other funds are counted, while teacher contracts influence local district budgets. Publisher Martin Hawver notes incoming governors will set the remaining fiscal course.

After Sept 11 media fluff returns to old pattern
Jason Salzman argues that post 9 11 media shifted back to fluff and sensational crime coverage. He cites Project for Excellence in Journalism data showing soft news at 20 percent on national networks and a 33 percent drop in international topics, with hard news down and celebrity stories up. He warns that such coverage harms democracy and notes audiences grew after 9 11 but may not stay. Salzman, chair of Rocky Mountain Media Watch, urges substantive reporting.
