You can renegotiate waste management contracts only so often and libraries have mostly fixed costs, so education (which offers many extras beyond it’s official charter) becomes the slaughterhouse of funding cuts. In years past, it was shared textbooks, less arts, no sports…coming up will be auditorium classes, no arts, no special ed, no physical ed (and much less).

Maybe they could create an apartment tax that would put some of the burden on renters if they have children.
