Theirs is a simple situation with a very common theme, K-12 is much more effective at garnering monies and sympathy than any other agency in our state. Until that rampant process gets a collar (or muzzle, pick your metaphor), all other agencies in our state are in want for things they are supposed to do. Some even need what they want.
In the meantime, crystal palaces and Taj Mahals are being built for schools, and newcomers from out-of-state and international are the benefactors.
We're only a stone's throw away from the other agencies suing the state for their monies, so successful is our court process at paying people off with other's monies.
With all the escalation in sales tax and property tax to feed these wolves, it would be an interesting study to see how many of our residents have lost their homes and/or sold them and left our state to get out from under this burden. And, equally interesting perhaps, to see where they go.
