    School budgets are paid out of city property taxes, which are mostly paid and voted on by old people who own homes with no mortgage and little chance of increasing their income. They also don’t have young kids and are probably Republican.

    They’d gouge their own eyes out before they’d vote to raise their own property taxes to pay for something that doesn’t benefit them.

    Ergo, schools are always underfunded.

      Before voting for something that obviously benefits them. An educated populace benefits them, they just don’t see it.
