WebComic: Election

I hate the way schools are funded in Ohio!

Yesterday was election day and the state government offered to give the school district that I work for about twenty million dollars to build new schools if the people who lived there passed a property tax increase of equal value. With the recession and many people living in that community not working, the levy failed by 80 votes. I understand the people not having extra money, but since the levy failed the government won’t give us any of the money. It was an all or nothing deal. Each of the schools in the district need new roofs and heating/cooling systems. In order to pay to replace or fix them we have to go back to the community and ask for more property tax money… and according to our superintendent, the needed repair, which is dictated by the state, will cost more in the end than the original levy. So instead of getting twenty million dollars at once, the district will have to nickel and dime the community to death. I really hate the way that Ohio funds its schools.

Anyway, today’s comic strip is my attempt at humor after being dumped on by the state on election day.
