why does ANYONE trust the government to do what is best for their children - lies lies lies , there have been taxes implemented throughout the last twenty years that was suppose to be short term or only to be used for the schools.. guess what - lies. money will NOT fix what is wrong with our schools. you have to fix the problem and that problem is the dumb azz parents( that really is giving to much respect - breeders is more like it ) having children they don't raise in the first place. parents need to be held accountable for their actions- their responsibilties- their kids.

Usually combining services reduces costs. Why do we need more for less?

The best part was the "either or" comment I heard. Sales Tax or Property tax! Your choice! That's like pointing a gun a someone & asking if you want to be shot or beaten!

We are taxed to death already with nothing to show for it in this backward, superstitious, decayed place. Think of the kids? Right. Tell us another one, politicos.

How can tax hikees be gaining political support when the only person who expressed a position said he wouldn't vote for it?

That,s alright Lutrell, because I will not be voting for you or your total lack of leadership.

If people were thinking of the kids, they'd be supporting school choice of all kinds instead of trying to do a mega one-size-fits-all government school system.
