This comment only increases my education. Amazing to consider such plotting and no consideration of the human cost. Kind of militaristic?

By pushing through the illegal/deficit ridden budget they’ve set themselves up to lay the blame on the newly elected board.

These reformers are as patient as Al qaeda cells. They’ll wait 10 years to get what they want.

This is a tactic. Run the budget up, force taxes to be increased or incorporate mass layoffs to balance the budget.

Their goal is to make the elected board look incompetent, then step in and take over.

We haven’t had a disaster to wipe out the school system so they’ll create a financial disaster in it’s place.

Readers of this blog would very much appreciate a response–as soon as possible. School starts next week.
