One has to appreciate that part of the "unsustainable status quo" happened because of a subsidy voucher program that is being utilized.

Somehow, everywhere else seems to be soldiering on without cutting their budgets in half.

"Our low cost options could be going away"

Jody - your low cost options were being supported by the state's tax dollars. Everyone's costs are going up. It's reality. What was "low cost" 5 years ago is "not enough" today.

Education is expensive, and it is 100% true that simply throwing money at it will hit the point of diminishing returns. Please, be a reasonable foil to unnecessary costs expended and keep the budget in check. But what the Underwoods did a year ago was dishonest, and painted a huge target on their back as they took actions - essentially unilaterally - that the town was clearly not in support of.

Kick dirt in your face?

Don't mind if I do.

As a childless person, I want the kids to have a good education, and am happy to pay a reasonable amount of taxes in order to support that education.
