Davebarry,

Taxes are going up have very little to do with the school budget Per Mr. Cushman "A decade ago, the ratio of school-to-city spending was 64-36 percent. The ratio today stands at 53-47. Under this dramatic shift, the city budget received $40 million in new tax dollars while schools only got $1.4 million."

So by simple math all most all of the tax increase went to the city side of the budget... So for you to blame just the teachers is way off and the numbers do not support it..
