Who Needs Journalists Anyway? Part 2

Arizona State Representative Russell K. Pearce has attached a footnote to the House Appropriations Committee's state budget recommendation which would eliminate state funding for all student newspapers. Democratic Representative Steve Gallardo reportedly said Pearce included the footnote because he did not like some articles in The State Press. Pearce is apparently offended by some topics. "Public money shouldn't be used for sex surveys" he reportedly said.
