Because guess what? As predicted, the state is in hole $562 million next year already. Schools will take a hit in the Governor’s 9% across-the-board cut backs (here).
And don’t give me the ‘we would have been worse off if we hadn’t voted in favor’ jive because the democrats shouldn’t have been increasing spending in the last few legislative sessions. What was it again? A forty-four percent increase in the past four years? That’s not a taxing problem, that’s a spending problem.And because they fail to prioritize spending properly we end up with these hacking cuts in the budget in a wholesale way–for the children.
How about we start cutting increases for the public employee unions first? It’s for the children, you know.
