I dream that one day our schools had all the money they needed complete with cost plus contracts and well paid teachers and that the pentagon had to pay for their $25,000 toilet seats with the proceeds of a bake sale held by the parents of our troops.

Real original Lee. You wouldn't even have schools if it weren't for the military. Let them have gold platted seats for all I care, they put their lives in the line for our freedom.

We could take away pork spending, that would cover all the needs of schools.

Wow, Geckler is the same company that KSTP did the report about "using caution when dealing with this company?" Please research which companies that you highlight.

Public Schools need to be audited by a non-Governmental board! Where is the Tax money going?
How is it that, enrollment is down but spending is up? The state of Minnesota spends more on education then anything else. How is that Education Minnesota [Teachers Union] has millions every year to spend on TV ads telling us they need more and thanking Tax payers for giving more?
Education Minnesota has its hands too deep in the education budget! Is it Taboo to Question?

I pay to damn much in property taxes to feel any sympathy for the public schools. How about some accountability for where the money is spent?

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Aries

There are mixed messages flying around in the ether today, so be wary about drawing any concrete conclusions from what happens now. Even though you don't realize it, you may be misreading the signs that someone is sending out, which will lead to complications later on. Be especially careful about indulging in romantic daydreams and then believing them.
