Being a property tax payer in this great state, I just sent my two cents in to cut property taxes by 1/3. You are right about the teachers hitting this web site, there are about 45,000 votes thus far and 38,000 are for teacher raises.
Friend is a "technolgy resource" at a Denton school: tells me that hitting this website is what all the teachers are doing in their spare time, an e-mail about this is circulating around Texas teachers like wildfire!
In Denton, the teachers can either vote from their desktop computers, or from their laptops, OR from their blackberries.
And they need more tax money.
THIS is the city where the schoold board is pouring millions down a rathole called the "City Water Park."
For which losses ran over $800,000 last year.
