Simple Solution to educating 'on the cheap'

Simple Solution To Educating 'on The Cheap' Wisconsin State Journal :: OPINION :: A8 Wednesday, December 27, 2006 For all those in the state who agree with the writer of the letter to the editor in the Dec. 22 State Journal who said she is paying less tax to the school district now than she was in 1994, there is very simple and cost-effective method to provide more money to our state's public schools. Include an extra $1,000 in your December property-tax payment earmarked "for the public schools" and throw in another grand with your state income tax return that you will file for 2006 earmarked "for state aid to education." If all the teachers, administrators and parents who believe we are, as she stated, educating our kids "on the cheap" at $11,000 plus per student (in Madison) will make this extra $2,000 deductible contribution, the schools will be overflowing with cash. -- Bill Richardson, Madison.
