School Budget is OUT OF CONTROL

Claudia, you are exactly on point and Yes, we are heading south soon to more tax sane states asap. The school budget in this town is out of control. We have great schools. Do we need $2M more to keep the schools competitive ? No. What is odd in this story is that we have a Heritage Village population that comprises about 25% of the towns population. These folks for the most part do not have children in the school system, they pay the same taxes as everyone here and have the same voting rights as all of us. Yet, we don't seem to get these folks out to the polls when it comes time to vote on the school budget. If just 80% of Villagers voted NO to increases, that would be significant and could have a huge impact on the eventual voting result. Why aren't more Villagers out there, getting their voices heard and voting to keep the school budget reasonable. Am I missing something ?
