Where the money goes
My take this week in the Outpost on School District 2 funding may be a bit different than what you have seen before.

I can't see it passing. SD2 simply hasn't explained how the money from it isn't going to be wasted, or why the taxpayers should believe that they're going to be any more responsible with it. If/when they show taxpayers that their priorities are straight, THEN they might have a chance.
Teachers are going to get a 3.75% raise this year. I am going to get 3.25% and my insurance is going up. I shop at Mr. Thrifty and drive an 18 year old car. Teachers shop at the Good Earth Market, drive Volvos and make some of them make 60 grand a year.
At a recent appearance in a school lunchroom, a member of the SD2 board, runnning for reelection, was asked what the chances were of the levies passing. Her response? "Good if the old people who vote stay home and the teachers get out and vote." So, all you "Old Folks," get up out of your recliners and hobble to the polls or, these latest proposed "only taxes" (those that will "only" raise your annual property taxes by $60-$100 a year plus, what the Cobb Field supporters and Metra repair "only taxes" will add if they pass), may eventually leave you with no place for your recliners. GET UP! GET OUT! AND VOTE NO! I already have!

He's the CFO now? Since when?

Quick comparison:
SD2 has 24.5 fte in Business/Admin/HR/PR (Includes HR office, PR office, Business office +superintendent and district clerk)
City has 19.5 fte in Finance/Admin/HR
SD2 has 14 fte in I/T
City has 10
Top heavy at Lincoln?
