MoCo's BOE routinely requests budgets that constantly, coooooooooooonstantly demand tax increases to pay more and more and more for 'education'. I'm sick and tired of tax increases, and even when they don't go through, I'm still tired of people in charge constantly demanding increases.  They just want an ever bigger honey pot to dip their paws into to fund their pensions and salaries without actually ever having to provide evidence of improved educational outcomes. And they always try to push their tax increase agenda under the guise of improving outcomes for poorer individuals and marginalized groups in order to appeal to the progressive heartstrings that dominate MoCo's politics. In reality, all they do is just enrich themselves with higher salaries and benefits with taxes increases while having little to show for tangible improvements in test scores and other educational outcomes.

SO, who do I vote for who is least likely to request budget increases funded by more taxation? [/quote]
