Schools could solve their problems if they would get rid of
half of the administration. Let them tell us the ratio of
students to administration. It is not the teachers, janitors
and aides that make the big bucks, it is the people sitting
around doing nothing and getting paid the big bucks.

Coming to California soon!

More like coming to a war zone or battle field. The storm and flooding we are experiencing in the NW corner of the state is going to add to the misery level.

Coming to California soon!

I'd be delighted if California's problem was on the scale of Oregon's. The way things are shaping up, we're looking at 30-40% of the budget having no funding. As Tom McClintock notes, however, that 'budget shortfall' everyone talks about is the difference between actual revenue and what legislators want to spend. It starts out with the assumption that we're going to spend last year's amount plus some percentage. Until we get rid of the mindset that budgets only increase year-to-year, we're not dealing with the real problem.
