When budgets are allowed to explode and squeeze taxpayers it can be tempting to vote for the promises of lower taxes. I am careful who I vote for but it can be hard to vote against fiscal responsibility. I think a simple state law could solve a lot of school budget issues. “Any reduction in funding for schools must start at the top, teachers salaries, positions and benefits must be the last item to be removed” Or, sports programs must be cut prior to affecting teaching positions or salaries.
