  1. Schools already cut the majority of the fat several years ago when the property tax system was capped. There is nothing left to cut. If Indiana continues to treat schools and teachers like a red-headed stepchild, they will see busing cut, athletics became pay for the wealthy programs, arts and music disappear, class sizes above 35 in many places (I had 18 in my elementary classes in the 80's)and less help for your children. Do you value education to Colts domed stadiums and tax breaks for corporations?

  2. still true today and it obviously didn't get any better or TOney wouldn't have closed shop sold his crapwagon thrown in the towel and moved to Florida

  3. I loved the book Sarah Plain and tall growing up. I enjoyed reading stories about settlers moving west.

  4. You do realize Bruce Barnes died 5 years ago. I am guessing this is not a recent quote. I am not sure where you dusted it off from, but it does not even show up in a Google search. Wow, the haters are getting desperate.

    So are you now searching for a Floyd Davis quote about how Eddie Rickenbacker cost him a race win?

  5. The new CEO has inherited a mess not of her doing. The former CEO and finally-fired VP's misuse (for their own personal gain) of funds that were dedicated to educating Indiana children are at the very least an embarrassment to the dedicated staff who have continued to push on, and most likely a criminal act. If you were a donor or sponsor in the last decade to these guys, an audit is definitely in order. Hang in there, Jennifer Burk!
