Be a crusader all you want!! I didn't know .60 cents of our taxes supported the arts. I'm at the stage of my life I want to know how much of my taxes are fundinging the schools. My kids are K, 2 and 3 grade and my K is in a classroom size of 29 children. Three teachers retired at the school last year and not one was replaced. I have to wait a year and half to get into Nursing School because the College says they can't afford to pay more teachers.
