So all budgets are equal, but some budgets are more equal than others?

So Austin isn't qualified to look at the MCPS budget because he doesn't have experience with MCPS?  As a parent with kids in MCPS, I'm sure he has first-hand experience with the effects of the BOE's actions.  In fact, perhaps having an "outsider's" view would be helpful?[/quote]

Use of e-mail, and understanding of budgets, are separate issues, aren't they?

It seems pretty obvious, to me, that when you try to understand the MCPS budget, it helps to have a general knowledge of the things the MCPS budget pays for. And the MCPS pays for a whole lot more things than just the schools Steve Austin's children attend. If I were running for a seat on the BoE, I would have the same doubts about my ability to understand the MCPS budget - except that Steve Austin's experience with MCPS as an MCPS parent and county resident is even less than mine. And except that I generally try to inform myself about a subject before I talk about it in public. Ignorance plus a loud voice, that's a dangerous combination.[/quote]
