Irritates the heck out of me.
Various people keep complaining that the state has reduced education funding, so the local ISD's have to tax more. They want to the state to pay more, so "the tax burden will be less."
Well, if the state did pay more to the districts where the heck do these people think THOSE dollars come from??
The only place state funds come from is taxpayers. Where do the ISD taxes come from? Taxpayers.
Same source, just different path.
At least when the taxes flow through the ISD, the taxpayers can have a little more influence if they want to do so.
Liberals just keep dragging this issue out, though.
