Believe me, I am not one of the wealthy elite. And, I parented 2 children through a local school system. Despite the condition of our education system, I refuse to show approval of an ill-advised tax that has no guaranteed ear mark. Perhaps some school district employees and management could loosen their purse strings some. As a property owner, I am tired of loosening mine. And aren't school district employees and management part of the PERS system?
