Our town budget was decided today. 60% of voters decided to tell schools to go fuck themselves. A petitioner budget, drawn up by a man who didn't go to any public meeting held by the various departments passed overwhelmingly. This is the second year in a row the town will be screwing itself over, and leading to more cuts and bigger increases later.
I'm just pissed. Needed to vent.......

(53,661 posts)Yes, it's appalling. My favorite Democrats are taking a beating because they are shut out of the public debate on media. ALL the noise is from the RWNJs. We can't get a word in edgewise, run good liberal and progressive candidates, and the baggers run crooks and liars and get elected. They don't care about integrity. Good ideas get shouted down by the Kochroaches.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
