I'm just a little grumpy today.
I've discovered that I'm out of step with a little over half of the voters in our state on one important issue - supporting our schools.
The ballot measure to change our state's constitution from a supermajority to a simplemajority for school levies looks like it's going to fail, but only by a slim margin. To me this measure seemed like a no-brainer.
It has never made sense to me that we could construct a sports stadium only needing a simple majority of the vote, yet supporting our public schools gets held to a tougher standard.
I wonder what that says about our culture when entertainment is more important that education?

Looks like it's passing now! Hurray for those who care about education enough to risk higher property taxes in order to ensure it.
