I just used my yahoo email to post a note, although it got slotted in the wrong place. I'm sure it will be gone by tomorrow and my new id disabled, but I was...
Even if Verona's voters vote to secede, what difference does it make? Even if they *did* secede, what difference would it make? Why doesn't somebody (like...
Probably cost of benefits is only a small item. The main problem in my eyes is the baby boom that we experienced during the economic grow in the 90's. There...
Well, from 2000 to 2003 enrollments increased by 11%. The school levy increased by 30%, or, per annum 3.6% v. 9.0%. The difference may be inflation, to a...
