School funding

While all of America is focused on the Presidential race, important local issues will appear on the ballot as well, including funding requests by many school districts. If a newspaper poll is any reflection, the economic crisis could make school ballot issues a tough sell this election.

Tough Times for School Funding
The Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch ran a poll yesterday asking whether readers plan to vote for the school levy on the ballot. As I write this, a whopping 82% were telling the newspaper, "No." Many cited tough economic times as the reason. Sample comments:
"We all want more, however it a bad time to be asking."
"We are all being hit hard in this economy."
"During these tough economic times, we all have to tighten our belts a little."
