And they should put it in public education. See my previous reply. But John then we might get to be like NJ with its 75% high school graduation rate. Maybe you should look at this a little closer than just comparing $ spent per pupil. Those of us who have owned a business are always interested in value. You are paying $10,000 per student to get 75% to be HS graduates. In Idaho, we pay $5,000 to get a 78% graduation rate. See table 2...http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/cr_baeo.htm LB has been right about this all along. BTW, we have a new elementary school finishing construction right now...paid for the old fashioned way with cash. No bonds. Keeps taxes low. uw
