Adding better business management and laws, and providing incentives to businesses to come into the county will increase the tax revenue without adding children to the system.  Then money can be applied towards additional teachers without accounting for additional students and additional services and supplies for the children already in the system.  Additionally, the jobs will also likely bring additional workers to the county many of whom will live in the area and add additional tax income to the county.  [b]And when you increase the demand without increasing the supply, [/b]property values will go up which translates to higher property taxes and more tax revenue, some of which can be applied towards schools.

So, voting for those who vote against business friendly initiatives, and for more residential housing is directly voting against the best interests of the schools and students.[/quote]

When you increase the demand for housing without increasing the supply, the cost of housing goes up. You seem to think that this is a good thing. I don't.[/quote]

Then stop whining about needing more money from the state.  Montgomery County has made it's bed and it can lie in it.  If there is more money for education in the state it needs to go to the other counties that need the money far more than Montgomery County does.  This whole point of this thread is that Montgomery County constantly tries to wheedle more money out of the state.  The state has increased educational spending every year (for at least the last 22 years).  And frankly, right now, the other jurisdictions need the money far more than Montgomery County does.

The County needs to find the additional money for education from it's own tax income or realign their own budget.[/quote]
