I hear ya on this one. I just voted no today on a plan to spend $65million to demolish a couple schools and build new. They didn't even bother to finish the plans before they added it to the ballot. I loved the way they claimed it would only add about $6 a month on to most home owners, but that's because the $53million dollar taj mahal middle school is almost paid off and would be reducing our taxes next year. Did I mention the population is only 50,000, of which 50% are college students?

Don't get me wrong, I love owning my house and I have no problem supporting the K-12 education system even though I have no kids, but someone needs to put these people in their place.
