[quote=Zeitgeist][quote=flu][quote=Oni Koroshi]Aside from the small sales tax increase, this won’t affect the income for most of us yet public education will benefit greatly which does affect all of us.[/quote]

It won’t do shit for public education.

Bookmark this thread and let’s compare notes in 2 years to see if your local public school are any better off 2 years from now…

Local schools know this…And that’s probably why there’s a bunch of local bond initiatives to fund schools locally.[/quote]

Exactly right. The public schools will still under perform and the teachers will blame the parents for lack of involvement. Nothing changes. I remember when the lottery passed. People thought it would help the schools. Think again.[/quote]

More money for schools is always built on some sort of silly premise that we’ll be able to attract the best and the brightest to become teachers. Of course look at what the schools do as soon as they get that money. They don’t go out and hire more teachers or attract new young teachers with higher starting salaries, they always give the teachers and administrators, we already have, big raises.
