Never underestimate the self centered bias of baby boomers.
Never underestimate the stupidity of San Antonio voters.

That POS Pre K passed?
Amazing.
Yep
Because of stupid s like fuzzy lumnpkins apparently.
i'm no baby boomer and i can tell you that was a plan, a sales tax hike that only benefits 4000 kids some for half a day, just stupid
Pretty easy to see where the gullible uninformed voters were...

not nearly as bad as californian voters imho. the state of cali has supported the democratic candidate for 7 consecutive times including this one, i think the only way for republicans to win cali is by nominating schwarzenegger as their presidential candidate imho
Article 2, Section 1 of the Cons ution says hi.
obama's presidency says hi too, they can always find a way to cir vent the cons ution can't they? as the democrats could do this, i don't see why the republicans can't tbh
Apparantely my birther-radar needs some service. Carry on.
I think I am the exact same age as you... Prek4SA is a well-meaning, horribly thought out, turd of a plan.
Arizona also had a sales tax hike for education plan that failed. I'm usually always for added education funding, but the last thing this country needs anywhere is more sales tax. It's a regressive tax that ends up hurting the middle class and low income Americans more than anyone else. Idk why Democrats support it and think it's a good idea.
This isn't about furthering education, it's about furthering Julian Castro's political ambitions.
Stupid, stupid people.
Was pretty bummed to see this pass. Unfortunately it wasn't on our ballot for some reason.
How is this a boomer-centric issue?
I'm the guy that turned off the light and shut the door on the boomer bracket....I sure as don't have any pre-k children. Grandchildren, barely.
city of SA raising kids
I think Fuzzy just takes any chance to crack a shot at boomers, no matter how inane.
I'm pretty inane, tbh.
The shot, not the boomer.
but glad to see you own that.
I didn't really read the thread on this from before but can someone explain to me why the plan is so bad?
Pre-K is already available through the school districts and this tax increase puts the city sales tax rate at the maximum they're allowed to charge per state law. So basically the City gave up all their remaining taxing capacity in order to provide an essentially redundant service to what the school districts are already providing.
This is a bull comment, btw. There are reasons the votes split along those geographic lines and I promsise that you've benefitted from the split far more than this tax increase is giong to hurt. City infrastructure is also split along those geographic lines in a very very skewed way.
Here's the original discussion, Manny.

It simply moves 2000 kids already being served by their neighborhood elementary school to one of 4 new schools the city will build. The neighborhood schools would lose their head start funding for those 2000 kids. And instead of the kids going to the school around the corner, who is going to put their 4 year old kids on a VIA bus to get to the distant city run schooll? By their own numbers the cost will be $15,000+ per kid.
Whats the legitimate draw then? Better quality?
