I am challenging all the sheople that voted yes for levies. As we know now the levies did not pass.

Now sheople please open your checkbook and write a check to school district to and prove you really want to spend the additional money!

Let's show your true colors!

I voted "NO"

I say cut the buses that run half full! Cut the school breakfast program! Cut the fat! Cut every assistant principal! Cut the auto perks!

School districts will show their real intentions and now will threaten to cut teachers.

Voters have figured out that the continuous budget increases even while enrollments are declining is all about the increased costs associated with teachers health insurance premiums and retirement benefits.

It's not about the kids.

When the public schools and the teachers union starts being honest with the taxpayers, maybe there will be less knee-jerk voting against their levies.

Virgo

Home is where your heart is, so stay there today if you can. Surround yourself with your loved ones, even if you're all slumped on the sofa in front of the TV. If you love cooking, you'll get sweet satisfaction from shutting yourself in the kitchen, and either producing a delicious meal or creating some Christmas food that can live in the freezer till you need it.
