CUT SPENDING.

This would be a good start. I am HTML impaired, so I could only provide the link to this $75 MILLION facility. I've called my reps, gone to school board meetings, etc...The local school boards are one of the most tyrannical organizations that I can think of. It makes me cry to think that not only do we have to pay exhorbitant property taxes, but now our business will be taxed exhorbitantly as well to pay for crap like this.

That is one of the most obscene examples of wasteful spending by a local school district I can recall. I'm absolutely stunned that any local school board could be so irresponsible with taxpayer money for a High School building project. It confirms my worst fears that the bloated education bureaucracy in Texas is completely out of control. Cy-Fair ISD needs a top-to-bottom audit immediately, looking for graft and corruption. I think something worse than just inefficient management is going on there.

My school district did the same. Constructed a 21 million dollar stadium including large screen instant replay on LCD that would rival professional sports. Absolutely amazing considering school districts financial whining.
