  1. whatever. where is all the money going? lotto money was for schools, property taxes have gone up way more than inflation. this is all such BS. do not vote yes for any of this and make them find the money by cutting waste and fraud.

    1. Ah yes, the mythical waste and fraud argument! Such an easy accusation to make but as soon as real examples are searched for, they magically can’t be found. Weird!

    2. Maybe they should stop building all these sports facilities to rival I use facilities. It’s ridiculous the amount of money they spend on stadiums and other athletic facilities.
      Not to mention they’re so top heavy with administration.
