I’ve seen a few worrying events in the past few days.
- East Bay Area School district is talking about closing campuses, merging schools, selling of property, and $100M deficit over next 3 yrs
- San Francisco School district sounding about the same
- BART talking about closing a significant number of stations
- CA budget deficit
It’s stunning to me that all this is going on and somehow we’re still not talking about increasing taxes on the wealthy or corporations.
Schools have to deal with some outrageous swings in demographics. Not always economic. And the state budget ebbs and floods, we had a surplus a few years ago. Anyway the rich should be taxed even more, and we should limit property ownership to residents. But I’m not sure you provided evidence about the economy of the state.
