The Republican party was really pushing the school bond referendum in Fairfax County. Not too pleased about that - it's just pouring more money down a rathole.
I'm with you on the Education Spending!! Think I read that Fairfax spent almost $10K/student and, admittedly, the schools are relatively good (I used to go to Keene Mill Manor, Washington Irving, and W. Springfield for one year), but until they get the Unions out of the decision-making process and allow Privatization to proceed as the Sheeple would like, every Public Education System is a RATHOLE!!
FReegards...MUD
The Alexandria Journal had a letter from the school board's "Bond representative" stating that the issuance of additional bond debt didn't have any impact on future levels of spending or taxation. If that's what the school board thinks, I'd hate to see what they're teaching the students.
