The school districts get plenty of money. It is how they (mis)spend it! Does anybody remember TUSD misplacing 3 million?

Do you remember the LAUSD spending millions for a school built on a toxic site? Do you remember Arnold enlarging his staff even beyond Davis' numbers and then paying them more?

There is such corruption in the CA state government that we need something like the GAO here to see whe our money goes!

WE also need to stop educating illegal's children! A HUGE amount of money is being spent to do so and yet an American going to any country would have to pay full tuition or as in Mexico, couldn't even get in without a lot of difficulty!

Remember the "day without a Mexican?" I do and I made it to work in 15 rather than the usual 35 it takes me - what does that say? Too many are taking from the government and not paying anything in.

An illegal who attend high school for three years can get FREE community college tuition. An American cannot!

Let's call for accountability in our dollars spent and see where all the money is going - bet we don't have such a HUGE problem as we are being told!

I remember the day without a mexican, it set a record for lowest number of vehicle thefts.

Privitzing the schools-brilliant. Did you know that private schools can teach anything they want without state intervention? Teachers' backgrounds are not checked-if you think the 3 pedophiles who get through out of 200,000 teachers in the state is a lot, wait till they privitize. Do you want your tax dollars to pay for special interest schools, neo-Nazis, Afro-centric, Islamist fundamentalist? Because that's what will happen. Right now teachers and what they teach are tightly controlled. Teachers are observed and their curriculum is given to them. If we privitize I'm certainly going to open my own school and without all the tiresome restrictions.

Teachers do not get paid for not working during the summer. Some districts have an option to divide the school year's paycheck over 12 months rather than 10 months. Get your facts correct.

How many months do teachers work? Is it 12, 9, 8, 10, or 11 How many?

If there is year round schooling, like some of the districts here in Sacramento, then aren't these teachers are working just about year round?

Don't worry, my tax dollars provide interpreters and multiple language printing for you.

Dems want the votes, and Reps like the cheap labor. Citizens are left with choked schools, uninsured motorists, gang-bangers galore, ever increasing crime rates, a hospital system in crisis, and an over-crowded freeway system! When will the good people of California say "no mas"!

For those who blame illegal immigrants for everything that goes wrong in the state. This is just to inform you, we are not the only state with illegal immigration, or the only country.
Just to inform you:
If you are illegal working with a false SS#, you will not see that money ever; where does it goes then (not in the budget)?
Under you pay check, you will get all the deductions ALL WORKING men and women do. Where is that money (not in the "budget")?
If you are illegal your CAN NOT receive welfare benefits. Social Services REQUIRES proof of residency.
If you are illegal that does not means you don't have medical insurance; if you are employed and the company pays for medical insurance, you are INSURED. And if you work with a company who does not provides Health care, then there are such us pay per visit doctors,(try to go to one of those offices and you’ll see what I am talking about). And if you end up really ill, there is yes THE GENERAL HOSPITAL full of all uninsured men and women, all colors and shapes. Many of them US CITIZENS, who are not INSURED.
Stop blaming everything that goes wrong to the illegal immigration and start looking for solutions. We waste so much time and energy that when is time to elect our representatives our brains are tiered from wasting all the energy in blaming every one else than our selves. Something has to change!!!

Things are so tough for you guys??? GO HOME!!!!
