WDT: Just When I Thought I Had Heard It All
Am I the only one who is perplexed and troubled when I read about a public body voting on a budget and tax levy without ever revealing what it is ? Is this story true? Did the General Brown School Board actually vote on a budget without revealing what they are voting on, instead telling taxpayers they could have the numbers the next day ? OK, I get it....let the professionals handle the spending on education of our youth...don't subject volunteer board members to the "gotcha" media with their fancy questions and their high and mighty people's "right to know." Maybe the WDT shouldn't even print that this happened..... Watertown Daily Times District is mum on plan figures

Isn't this the best district in the county?
You did not have a problem with the three men in the room making our state budget behind closed doors.
Which prisons to close...to be determined...by our downstate governor.
In the case of the state budget, it isn't officially passed until the lawmakers vote on it.
In the case of our school budget it isn't officially passed until the voters in the district vote on it.
At least they stand (or hang) together
If I went to that meeting as a taxpayer, I'd be pissed
