mr. Corrente,

Respectfully, your comment is silly, bordering on foolish. Councilman Ladocuer et al know as much about school budgets and governance as they do about applied physics. This cast of characters have raised taxes for the past 15 consecutive years. Over the last 7 years, virtually evey cent of property tax increases has gone to the city side of the ledger. In fact, Mr Corrente, the city side of the budget has increased by 50% during these last 7 years while schools have been level funded. Ladocuer and that merry band use the schools as their whipping boy to mask the fiscal sewer that is the city side of the budget for which they're directly responsible. Ladocuer and his band criticize schools for not consolidating, and then criticize them when they do. Political hacks. Lastly, Ladocuer's plan would circumvent the voters. Comfortable with that, Mr. Corrente? Why is Mr. Ladocuer afraid of the voters on this issue? "Guard dog" my eye. Good luck with your campaign. Heck, maybe Mr. Ladocuer will seek enabling legislation that allows you to simply be appointed. Who needs those pesky voters anyway?
