These are hard times. Our deficit is $120,000. If we cut out sports, we'll still have an $80,000 deficit. It's a start but it's not enough.

We represent the taxpayer and they don't want the school to change. Yet everything is increasing, including education. Well, taxes also need to be increased ... I think you need to form a referendum committee right away to begin gauging feelings about this.

I think we put together a pretty nice piece.

We begged, borrowed and stole $40,000 to finance the project.

We tried half-day kindergarten classes and that didn't work. We tried cutting back on bus transportation costs and that didn't work.
