Longmont Times-Call: Lawmakers should fix funding now

In their first editorial of the year, the editorial board of the Longmont Times-Call hit the nail on the head - we need our lawmakers to take action to fix our broken education funding system.

We have called on lawmakers to offer voters a comprehensive proposal to bring these provisions into harmony.
