LEVY: Fill in bottomless pit

We've paid our dues when our children were in school. We don't mind paying "our fair share" now but District 271 is out of control. They just keep digging and digging but the pocket has a hole in it. Last year what we personally paid to District 271 and North Idaho College almost totaled what the county got. Now I think the county has a few more responsibilities than the school district.

Hazel Bauman is very good at using other people's money to further her cause. Throwing more money into the district WILL NOT make more children learn or make it better. It will not help them to read or make change in a store without a register to tell them how much to give you back.

If you are so inclined and feel this is a just cause, vote no and then write your personal check to the district but don't make those of us who are budgeting to get by pay for this. It is a bottomless pit. Vote no on the levy!
