Misrepresenting reality is apparently the new tool for school
Perhaps it is time for Lansing to actually fix prop A.
The local public school district is trying to sell the renewal of a 2007 bond as not being a tax increase. Even IF the tax would be zero sans its approval. Going from ZERO to 3.1 is an increase, yet the radio commercials tell us otherwise.
No wonder each generation is dumber than the last.
PART of the problem may be that the schools have maintenance issues that can only be addressed with new buildings? When a roof fails, they say the building is done, not because a brick and steel structure is bad, but because the operating money from Lansing is not quite enough perhaps?
I have often remarked that this is like buying a new car when the tires go bad.
The promise of an end to a bond that is USUALLY assigned to a project, is apparently as empty as the young heads full of mush after 13 years in our public schools. If they cannot get to fourth grade without being able to read, they haven’t a chance in deciphering the political nonsense used to sell us this S*** on a shingle ..quite literally.
Gimme a break TCAPS.

I'm confused and consider myself somewhat savvy in these type issues. Are they saying that the 2007 Bond is not or will not be retired this year? A school board's ONLY job is to maintain the schools within their budget. Hell, a federal court just ruled that literacy is not a constitutional right. Head count is going down, and in this district will go down further with the opening of a new charter school. Decision is clear--NO to this NEW millage.
