Can you explain that???

If the state doesn't increase the schools by 2% then the schools will have the RIGHT to RAISE your proerty taxes to cover what they need. So either the state pays or the property owners do. How do you want it done??

The leadership he is bring in are from DC and Chicago. Is this the direction we want our educational system to go in? Believe it or not our teachers do really care about the children they are teaching. The gov't red tape sometimes seems to tie their hands. I appreciate that you both seem involved in your kids education the main problem is that there are alot of parents out there that seem to think their only responsibility is to drop the child off. Somehow the phrase "IT TAKES A VILLAGE" seems to have turned into a "WHO CAN WE BLAME ?" game. Stop looking for a scape goat and look for a solution. Don't forget change will require funding...which is something Braindead doesn't want to do.

Figure it out on your own. Foundation wall fall in? Find the money to fix it yourself!

He'll get rid of the workers at the low end spend what he saved on himself and his buddies then claim he;s saved millions. I need him to do my taxes this year maybe with his style of bookkeeping I could get a decent refund!

That wage barely covers rent in CR didn't need to eat did you?

I can already foresee that the school district is going to be asking for more money again and with the property taxes continually going up I think I want my penny back!

There are income guidelines to get free preschool. Those that are above that guide line are paying over $100+breakfast and lunch cost , and this is only for 4 hours a day and no bussing provided. That money was paying for the poor children in our communities to help them get as much of a head start as the rich children. Where you got your information is very questionable!!

This is the 3rd house they raided and found nothing although they only gave out 2 disorderly house tickets Need to get their sh-- straight. Maybe the victims of the police could get a class actions suit against them????

What Branstad did during his term took independent accountants a year to figure out. Have you forgotten the two sets of books he kept and that when he got out we were in debt?????

What was recommended then may have helped in the '08 flood. Just sayin'.
