Depressed....teabaggers in my town taking over [View all]

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.......
