[QUOTE="rod, post: 841294, member: 5382"] The difference between paying for schools back then and paying for them now is that nowdays they just don't build a practical school. They have to build them like they are gifts to the gods with 25 foot high ceilings, marble and stone work everywhere, piped in music and every whistle and bell the designers can think of. If they would build a practical building and my tax money went truly "for the kids" and to provide excellent teachers I would have no problem with it but that isn't the case. The last 85 million dollar school referendum that got shoved down my towns throat turned out to be about 75% wasteful. Then 2 years later they had the gall to ask for another 6 million just so they could afford to heat it. Apparently they had forgot that heating expenses are rather high in a cold climate. Now here we sit with a monster building that even has a planetarium auditorium in it that cost an extra 2 million (which by the way hasn't been used since the 1st year because of staffing issues). Every other year they come back and want more-more-more. Sorry- they ain't getting a yes vote from me because it is no longer "for the kids". [/QUOTE]
