So persistent is the mirage that K-12 is somehow destitute of funds that both sides are clamoring over huge increase in taxes to the public, when all it need be is a transfer from levy sourcing to general funding.
"But, but, the state supreme court says so!" Distant sources of out-of-touch influence, after all, doesn't everyone make six-figures and above? (no Mary, only 1%ers like you).
+1.55% here, +$3 billion there, and the beauty of it is, "no one will have to pay it!" Just evil small businesses and, uh, evil rich people "who should be paying their fair share!" (said with gusto!). Race you to Colorado!
I guess at some point though, soon, it will be K-12 employees who will be mostly funding their own increase, as higher and higher numbers get paid more than $100K per year. Now at 7% of all K-12 employees, soon 10%. Add another 10+% when you consider households, where both husband & wife are K-12 paid!
No better and reliable income than K-12 employ in WA state.
South Carolina anyone?
