Rejecting this referendum is not a rejection of public schools; it is a call for long-needed accountability.

John Schlifske

Imagine that there is a barber or salon where you’ve been going to get your hair cut for years. However, over time the quality of the haircut has been declining. A few years ago, the owner told you he was increasing prices so that he could invest in his store and do a better job. You started paying more, but little changed. In fact, the quality kept going down and even fewer customers stayed loyal. Now, he’s asked you again to accept a second larger price increase to get back on track. He promises that this time it will be different, although he won’t offer any concrete explanations of what is going to change. Would you keep going to his shop or would you move on?
