North Suburban Schools / Voters balk at raising taxes for schools

Voters in two north suburban school districts Tuesday passed operating levies that were expiring but rejected those that would have raised taxes further.

we're doomed

[Pat from Blaine]

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.

[Bob the Bilderberg]

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.
