Spent is not the proper term. It’s money squandered.

I have family in public education. The stories of waste, fraud, mismanagement and abuse is shocking.

My wife was the purchasing manager for our K-8 district for 20 years. She always had stories of waste.

Our town of 27,000 has had a charter school for over 20 years where the kids excel academically. It has just over 1,000 kids. They’ve been using portable classrooms on the campus of one of our middle schools. Now they want their own buildings, so our city is considering a $350 MILLION bond issue! It would cost $700 million to pay the bonds off.

What world do these people live in?
