Cuts In School Funding

Well it is happening again, the government is stepping in and destroying anything that helps the middle class.

This time it's taking from school districts that are high performing and have a high value and robbing them and giving to less fortunate school districts that are not performing, while some school districts aare losing 70% or better of their state funding there are lower value school districts actually seeing increases as high as 16-19%.

In the school district I live in this is happening with the cuts from the state they have to lay off 43-77 teachers, administrators and staff, they are going to have to charge tuition for children to attend kindergarten,it is either pay for full day or go to half day which leaves children at a disadvantage.

We need to speak out against this, quit playing robin hood why punish school districts that have high performance.

Thoughts On Senate Dragging Their Feet

Well congress is dragging it's feet again, by not extending jobless benefits for those that are unemployed newly or long term, the extensions that were signed in March expired June 5th, now over 100,00 people in Ohio are now without these benefits which for most are what is keeping them from being out on the street and losing everything.

The government is wasting all this money fighting America's Longest war, bailing out big business and now they are throwing millions of people under the bus.

So get off back to helping those that voted you in and have the power to vote you out of office and then maybe you will begin to know what we feel like.
