[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it when rich people try to defend what they've got by invoking their deep and abiding concern for the poors.  If they really cared, they'd be lobbying for[b] higher taxes[/b] so the AAP centers wouldn't NEED to be cut. [/quote]

I'm not rich by any stretch!  However, I've been lobbying for higher taxes not necessarily to help AAP Centers but to help with this whole FCPS deficit!  The last town hall meeting I attended where an open session asked for input from the public.  I was one of the few who spoke up about raising taxes.  I was told the District Supervisors do not have the support from their constituents on raising taxes!!  Most of the attendees at these meetings are people who do not have kids in FCPS.  They are older people who want parks and rec funded, libraries funded, etc.  So until everyone gets off their asses to attend town hall meetings speak up about raising taxes, write to their Supervisors to properly funding our schools, pay our teachers enough so they don't leave for ACPS and get at times $20k more a year, then we will continue on the same road we are currently on.
