Thanks for the good news.

Last night driving home from a fishing trip, I heard on Sac talk radio, that under Davis and the Rats the annual per $ cost in our class rooms is now up to $275,000 per class room.

Ten years ago I used make lib teachers and administrators run screaming from a class room during a meeting with the public. At that time the cost per class room was about $100,000.

I would go to the chalk board and do a little exercise. I would deduct the cost of the teacher's salary, the cost of the utilities, (there never was any repair nor new books then).

I would leave $40 -$50,000 left after those direct expenses were deducted and toss the chalk back to the administor or teacher. Then ask them to show me and the rest of the people in the room where and how that $50,000 was being spent before asking me to spend more for education.

None had an answer. I told them that instead of increasing my taxes for school until they came up with an answer, I wanted a 40 to 50% reductions in taxes. I can only imagine the fun, if we can document the $275,000/classroom/year.
