[QUOTE="hard_r, post: 1345646, member: 9837"] :soapbox:Vote yes if you care at all about education. I will be voting yes. Schools have been cutting and cutting and cutting and the cuts aren't matched by the other state funded institutions. The school I work at doesn't even have a janitor. But I saw 3 county workers watching 2 other county workers put a sign up yesterday. And the last time I got pulled over I found out apparently it takes 3 cars to write a warning.

Know what it's like to have to balance a budget that size, knowing you can't please everyone? Trying to do what's best for the kids, all the while parents and "church" groups are after your job? Why would they keep doing their jobs, especially in these hard times, if their getting a pay cut? They'd leave, go to texas or kansas or anywhere education is supported.
