Vote no on Budget increase

My rule is that any time you can vote for a tax reduction it should be a yes vote.  That is pretty simple but especially on anything regarding property taxes which is the worst sort of tax possible. Property tax is worse than income tax.  (Even worse than HOA fees.)  The school district is funded with property taxes.

Schools should make do with less money, just like everyone else.  Pouring more money into the system won't help it.   If there are extra needs and parents want them then they can write a check.  I agree with all the arguments that say that children need a good education and it improves society but that should have no connection with property taxes.  

Some of the other arguments however are pretty silly.  I read in the information packet that James thinks that out of date teaching materials will negatively impact the emotional health of children.   Marty thinks that a no vote is turning your back on obligation as parent or citizen.   Must be in the Biden camp that believes taxes are patriotic.  Or perhaps a religious duty.

Don't tax yourself.  Vote no
