So far, though, the project — centered around one long rafting ride and financed with more than $50 million of public money from the city and county — has run behind schedule and run over budget.And now, if Gov. Kay Ivey has her way, you will too — with tax dollars from the Education Trust Fund.
This week, Ivey gave lawmakers her proposed budget for the $2 billion surplus in state education funds. At least $331 million of that money would go toGov. Kay Ivey’s office won’t come out and say it, but they want Alabama lawmakers to approve using education dollars to build a waterpark or perhaps a hotel or restaurant next to it.
Ivey could have come clean from the start. If she thinks funding a struggling whitewater park is more important than education, she should make that clear instead of sneaking it into her budget.

Gov. Kay Ivey says she won’t support state bailout of Birmingham-Southern College“The state has no plans to use the taxpayers’ public funds to bail out a private college,” Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey's spokeswoman Gina Maiola said in a statement to aldotcom Tuesday. What an amazing college. Glad the water park we’ve never heard of got $$$ Don’t ask for taxes from these these “private colleges” and they won’t expect funds for a bailout. OMG do I agree with something memaw just said. I cannot believe it.
