i'm on a tax rant today, because i have to go pay property taxes by 4 pm.

remember all of the hub bub in wisconsin where i live about scott walker and the teachers?

he cut state revenue reimbursement to teachers in the public school system by 7.2%. it was primarily being used for retirement and healthcare.

we're currently trying to recall him because "he ruined all of the teachers lives."

i finally open my tax bill this morning.

line 4: xxxxx school district percent increase: 7.2%

RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG

i call the town hall. "what's this increase of 7.2% for the school district being used for?"

"it's being used to offset the cut the governor made to the revenue limits."

"so, the teachers didn't actually lose anything?"

"well, you can't really look at it like that..."

i'm speechless. good thing we're going to spend another 3-4 million to try and recall the governor.
