We tighten our belts . . .
. . . and the gutless wonders keep trying to reach into our pockets!It seems to me they should do some more belt tightening of their own.
I know making budget cuts isn't fun, but the public sector shouldn't consider themselves immune to the economic ills that are hitting the private sector.
In this case, the ranting applies to the Orange County School District and the "Special Referendum" they have placed on our ballots in this little corner of heaven.
They want to raise our millage rate to supplement their income to the tune of about $400 million dollars.
This will cost the average household approximately $125 MORE than what they already pay in county school taxes every year.
The demand comes at a very unfortunate time.
Yours truly would suggest Superintendent Ron Blocker and his board are shirking their duty to live within the people's means.
They need to go back to the drawing board.

Ron Blocker makes $300,000/year, almost twice what the governor of our state earns. School board members make over $40,000/year for a PART TIME job. Yes, they need to cut first and put their hands in our pockets later!
