Good news for Michigan. I just received a newsletter from Ed Thompson, my State Rep in Texas, crowing about Texas being able to give more money back to Texas schools.
After the fact they are now going to discuss Common Core in Texas. And, of course, our Legislative session is almost over for another two years, they are being flooded with last minute bills, etc. etc.
And in the meantime, all our school related property taxes went up a bunch for 2013. All this in spite of the fact that the coffers are full.
Pathetic.
There’s talk of us going to a part time legislature but there are a few things I’d like to see cleared up first like lifting the ban on guns in schools.
Unfortunately that landed on the governor’s desk about an hour before the news from Sandy Hook broke.
