I am curious.
When did we become so jaded that we no longer care about how the system we live within does business? On Monday the 13th we have the annual Wringing of the Hands where the State reps (Gobi and Durant accompanied by Senator Stephen Brewer) give the State of the State address and tell us (for the fourth year in a row) just how badly we are doing.
Now for my money we could mail this bad boy in since it will once again be the same litany of excuses that we have grown accustomed to and been sedated by. How did we get here and more to the point, when did this become the standard that we live by? Take the recent article on the 11.3 million that we spend to bus homeless kids. Now, I am all about making this an easier transition on these kids since they do NOT choose to be homeless. Having said that, once again the Feds in their ever knowing wisdom and reach expect the towns and by extension the school district to pick up the tab on all of this. I have no problem helping these folks out but the Mckinney-Vento program expects the towns to pick up the tab on all of this with zero Fed or State reimbursement.
So where does all of this leave us?
