Subject: It is time we got a decrease in taxes.
In reply to: JG 's message, "Region 7 Board approves 1.6% spending increase" on Friday, March 25, 06:24:38am

Let's just have a referendum and send these big spenders packing. What the Hell is going on here? Do these people not understand that we are in a recession? We need to do something drastic to change this situation. Our governor is an idiot. The teacher's union is constantly flipping us the bird. I am very serious. Let's do what Providence RI did and fire all the teachers. We will hire back selected ones, and let's make 30 kids per classroom the standard. The teachers who get 30% higher pay, 70% more benefits than everyone else, and summers off can start working like everyone else. I am truly sick of this.
