School Funding

I know this is off topic a bit but it has me a bit riled up!
There was just a referendum this past Tuesday for several towns here in the north woods to vote on. Both were dealing with school funding and should schools go over budget.
My personal opinion (yes I know everyone has an opinion just like they have an ass hole) is that the state should be doing more to help fund the schools. The Eagle River school system puts a huge amount of their funding into just bussing their students to school since almost every has to take a bus there. Where as the Milwaukee school system only has to put like 15% (I don't remember the exact number but it's close to that) of their budget to bussing so those funds can be then put to other activities.

Now, If I ran my company always asking for free extra money I'm sure I'd be out of business with in a year, but the one thing I really do feel is necessary is that we give our the best education that is possible and if that means we have to pay a bit extra to the schools in tax dollars I'm for it.
Now that both referenda were defeated, I think they should not drop the higher education and low-end education, but instead drop FOOTBALL! If they dropped football I'd be willing to bet that they would get their funding almost immediately! There would be an outcry of rage saying oh no we can't do that, it's an American heritage or drop Boys BASKETBALL OH my god if they did that once again there would be an outcry that the can't get scholarships to good universities. I'd be willing to bet then the schools would get their funding that they NEED to insure that our future generation stays the best in the world.
I like to think that one day when I have they will grow up with the best education possible, and have all the opportunities available to them.
What are your thoughts on the subject?

Take me, I am all yours. So eloquently said. If the mind is the most powerful sex organ you are the sexiest lady on Senior Sizzle. You are light years ahead of the so called politicians in Wisconsin and the nation.
