The problem is the increased costs in administrator and teachers salaries (mostly due to health benefits) when funding has been stagnant thanks to the economy. The districts spent themselves into this mess, some more than others.
This millage lasts for three years - and then the schools will be in WORSE financial shape when it is open, due to increased costs - unless there's a renewal.
Of course the union thugs and collective dems go for the pocketbook. You will pay more for less. If more libs continue to move and swamp Livingston, they'll out-vote you.
That's what they all say.
We just had an presidential election with a record number of people voting.
So what does the school board do? They schedule a vote on May 3rd. Sounds like they don't want a big turn out.
The district, she said, ranks 705 out of a total 735 districts when it comes to funds from the state.
This kind of stat causes me to see red. Some district has to be #1 and some district has to be # 735. All those below 368 can claim that they are below the average. So who is supposed to give a rip? I guess they expect crocodile tears to make people reach deeper into their pockets.
I'll be voting no.
