Starve the Beast at every level.
Seems like the Beast is a well fed animal. As stated in the article Lucas County received 38.6m in 2000 increased to 62.3m by 2012. It’s never enough, though.
Total GDP is 16.2T, Local, State and Federal taxes take 6.4T of that. Throwing money at a problem is not the answer. We are not getting a return on investment in education, that’s for sure.
