JG editorial excerpt:There you go! Have each schoolchild skip one meal a month and you could cut millions off the referendum and the kids will be healthier, too.
The four court gym at each school would offer proper space for more physical education classes each hour. Childhood obesity is a growing problem, so let’s help…..And at about $100 per year per $100,000 home, it equates to sacrificing just one meal out a month.
JG excerpt:Great question! Could it be because those who can’t afford the 28 cents a day are not vicious extremists who use our troops to invade a sovereign nation and steal their oil? The Bush administration has blown over $325 billion of our money in Iraq. Money that could have otherwise been spent to improve Janesville schools, Rock county roads, police and fire departments and most of all, our health. Ask your Rep. Paul Ryan this question after he authored earmark control that allows the president to cherry-pick domestic spending on things like your education.

Here’s what the caller should have said: A resident on page 1A Oct. 30 complains about having to pay $12.50 a month for an owner of a $150,000 home with a debt load of over $300,000 for the next 25 years on their mortgage excluding their $3,500 a year property taxes. Tell me you cannot afford that for the welfare of

JG excerpt:I agree, the guilt tripping has been pretty heavy towards those who are against this referendum. Start trimming the fat off the top…. Of what? The school children? That would help.
Proponents say its for the children. That’s what they always say to make everyone feel obligated. Start talk about trimming the fat off the top and then talk about money. – anonymous
It’s not about the schools or the children. For many, it’s the referendum.
