We have to send $35 work book fees, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, boxes of tissue, red ink pens and copy paper to the schools every year now.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-30986383136316520682008-12-16T11:59:00.000-06:002008-12-16T11:59:00.000-06:00What you notice here is a nifty trick.

As the governor cuts the education budget and the trickle finally gets to the local school level....they look at items that they can assess you on fees. For example...they could have a test paper expense fee like $20 per student...which you will pay out of your own pocket. Or a sports fee if your kid is on a team of $40 per year. In the end...the state still gets the money necessary to run the school and all of the costs. <BR/><BR/>If you have just one kid...its no big deal...but if you have three kids....its going add up real quick on extra fees.Schnitzel_Republichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07661743281187855265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-55082511258025990242008-12-15T18:37:00.000-06:002008-12-15T18:37:00.000-06:00I have always favored a REASONABLE tax on cannabis...I have always favored a REASONABLE tax on cannabis once it is legalized. I just hope that when cannabis gets legalized, they don't rape us with the taxes like they do with tobacco smokers. Its freakin' nuts how much smokers pay per pack in taxes.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the revinue would do a lot of good things if the money is wisely spent. However, state and fedral goverments don't always spend wisely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02240872932290051612noreply@blogger.com
