LEVY: Families are cutting, too

To Hazel Bauman regarding the Coeur d'Alene levy, here are our facts: We are cutting our budgets just to feed our kids but you aren't willing to find ways to cut your budget? At what point will the school districts be fiscally responsible and make the cuts everyone else is having to make, instead of trying to guilt us into giving more and more money that we do not have to spare?

If we cannot, or will not, give the school districts more money, it is not because we don't care about our kids, it is because we don't trust the school district to spend it wisely. I have cut as much of our budget as I can just to feed our family, now you go do the same with the school district budget and stop trying to manipulate and blackmail us into feeling guilty.
