They already do that, but only if you speak what your thinking.
Who is 11? I'm a 2 fan. This is his late season.
Surely it's in the Constitution.
late = last
I see you fully understand.
How can such a red state be taxing itself blue?
Beats me.
LOL @ Conspiracy Guy! I thought you wrote-" Sounds like a p-a-i-n.
If enough ppl in the Great Lone Star State shut down EVERY drive-thru place in Texas for several hours a day to save the 3% on the drink, maybe some of the Dumba$$es in Austin might have to rethink this madness.
Administration costs need to be trimmed by the individual districts.
Consolodation needs to occur. There are areas in rural Texas with multiple districts that each have very small student bodies. Each uses money for administration costs. Only 51 cents of every dollar makes it directly into the classroom. That ratio must increase.

I guess this means another oven or 2 will be needed?
I can't believe this will fly.

In a fit of self preservation, they were careful to write in a clause excluding any fat above neck level from being targeted.
Sorry. That was $25.00 per MONTH.
Oh yeah.
It is gonna take that sort of action to stop this madness.
