Ed Ladouceur doesn't know what it takes to run the schools. The Mayor chooses not to know what it takes to run the schools. The City council doesn't know what it takes to run the schools as the have never had to do the job. State law requires the SC to have a balanced budget at the end of the year. The city doesn't have to do that and they are lucky. The city gets to over spend their budget EVERY year and raid the rainy day fund and raise taxes and take all the money to cover their over spending. The Schools do not get the same luxury.
In 2009 the city budget was $69 Milliion, it is now in 2015 about $119 Million. Do you really want an appointed SC? How much does the Appointed Sewer Authority owe the City?

"The overall budget includes a school budget of about $158 million and level-funds the city’s share of school spending at about $119 million."
Get your facts straight. Mr Corrente, you asked me to support you in your run for Mayor. If you support an appointed SC, I can not support you. Sorry. The voters should have the right to decide who represents them.
