They annoy me and make me tired fighting them all the time…

Goodness gracious… as the head of my household, I am required to live within my means, and, save for “rainy days” and other such unexpected things – like updating my house with a new roof BEFORE it actually leaks. When I need to save money on my utility bill, I need to do things like put in less leaky windows, more insulation, ceiling fans, etc. – I have to save that money up, and, have a PLAN.

What is it about these folks who run these public organizations that makes them think that they can simply come take more money whenever they want it?

Poor planning on your part does NOT constitute authorization to tax me for your mistakes, failure to plan.

I will not apologize for my opinion and strong distaste for being taxed to cover up the failure of those who are responsible, but I think the school board, State of California and anyone else responsible for ensuring the schools under their purview is a safe place to learn owes everyone a HUGE apology.
