Mr. Johnson is only looking out for HIS domain, NOT the community-at-large. Local school levies are currently a VERY bad deal to ALL TAXPAYERS. The burden-shifting from the STATE level to the LOCAL level for a LARGE percentage of K-12 funding has been incessant now, for decades. The ONLY feasible way to RECTIFY this continued BURDEN-SHIFTING to the LOCAL level is "‘levy swap". 

["After taking our current levy dollars, the state expects us to run a new levy on top of this just to keep the levy programs we already voted to fund."]

News Flash: Asking the community for a new levy is ALREADY WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOW EVERY FOUR YEARS, so claiming that this is somehow a NEW IDEA or new burden on the school district is very DISINGENUOUS!
