Is our schools out of money?

Yes they are, here. $900,000 short for the year, according to this morning's local rag - $500,000 in "emergency cuts" needed now. Word is they have no more money for supplies and barely any left for heat. And this after teachers routinely dip into their own pockets - sometimes hundreds of dollars deep - to buy supplies their classes need.

And all around us are politicians campaigning on promises to cut taxes. Screw them all, every one.
