You may not think it's a big election, but just a friendly reminder this is where the school districts pose levies to raise more money for themselves, usually under the guise that it's "for the children."
And so I find it my patriotic and American duty to point out that more money does not equal better schools;

Remember, voting no doesn't mean saying no to the children. It means saying no to the teachers union.
