I think this goes beyond the school board, but I think part of the issue is that a lot of that money goes to the rest of the state. |
Our real estate tax doesnt go to the rest of the state. Our income tax goes to the rest of the state (and then they hold it hostage to prop up the rest of the state while denying us basic infrastructure LIKE ROADS). Most of our real estate taxes goes to our schools. And still they need more. |
| Over 50% of the real estate tax goes to schools. The rate is higher in Fairfax than Loudoun, Arlington, Alexandria, Prince William, Montgomery, Prince George's, and DC. |
Our schools are better, too. |
Maryland counties also have a local income tax. |
I dont mind paying the rates if they tell us why they need certain things. Our schools are the best and I want them to continue to be the best and will pay for that to be the case... but I also dont want to be taken for a ride either. |
| She’s nice enough but being on the school board is really hard on the family. She has little children, right? Does she know that her business will be everybody’s business when she’s campaigning? People here are cruel too. |
| She’s nuts. |
| Curious. Does anyone know about her background? Where she grew up? Where she went to school? Thanks. |
| She’s a pre school teacher from somewhere south of here. Tennessee? Georgia? She married a Jewish man and left her religion. She’s always been vocal and selfish. She is a social justice warrior. We have enough of that. She’s mainly just jabbing at Schultz. She’s not qualified to be on the school board. |
There are three candidates running in Springfield. Cohen and the guy will split votes and Schultz will be re-elected. |
| Well, her comments on Schultz's letter were just over the top. I don't like Schultz's letter, but I agree with her on the issue. There's no evidence of a problem and I don't like the idea of putting a free dispensing machine in the girls' bathrooms. |

| She’s mean behind that cheesy smile. She has a lot to learn about working with people before she earns any real votes. Schultz won’t stoop to her level and talk trash against Cohen but Cohen is simply rude toward Schultz. Doesn’t Cohen have kids? |
| Well, her red ink on Schultz's letter was just nutty. |
