I agree with John O'Connell. No need to put up a budget that is just going to be cut by the Board of Aldermen. Republicans on the Board of Ed should meet with Republicans on the Board of Aldermen (and the Mayor, what the heck), without the public present. They should make a budget they will both agree on and the Republican majority on the Board of Ed should just vote for it.

Then they should all be sued for conducting an illegal meeting. The money received from the law suit could be used to fund education the way it really needs to be funded.

John O'Connell, your a genius.
