I am sick and tired of the way the budget is cut.Don't misunderstand,the cuts are needed and we all know it.My problem is what gets cut when any government agency has their overall budget cut.When school budgets are cut,the first things to go are the things that most adversely effect the parents and students.We all know the biggest waste in most school budgets is overlapping administration,and transportation to other than public schools.When a commuter railroad's budget gets cut,fairs go up,and service gets cut.Again the very things that hurt the public the most.We can all site examples of our own.Hurt the people as much as you can,and your funds will be left alone in the future. Let them submit proposed cuts to a citizens panel,or some other impartial group,if such a thing exists,and let them give the thumbs up,or down. It is painfully obvious that when left to their own devises,the only ones who suffer are our children and us.When anything is said to the agencies in question,they shrug their shoulders,and point the finger at whoever cut their budget,and tell us it's not their fault,"their hands are tied".I'm tired of the nonsense.
