i'm all for school funding, but the supermajority requirement makes sense to me for three reasons.
1) it encourages voter turnout (especially those voters with a direct interest in public schools, i.e. parents, and property owners)
2) it reflects the fact that not all property owners have kids in school
3) it maintains some level of parity between "propery-rich" school districts and "property-poor" ones.

| 3. Yup, no sense helping out kids that aren't your own. |

Can always go to Canada or Mexico for decent health care.
:sarcasm: I'm a property owner with no kids in school and voted yes.

Yeah, I haven't called 911 in a few years. Don't see any need to vote to fund that anymore either. ;)

| 2. Well, I hope everyone who voted no won't be bitching about how we're 42nd in school funding. |
