Jackson Jambalaya

OK, que Loome in 3 2 1 ..........

Democrat Dorsey Carson has promised the Jihad Against Mississippi Taxpayers otherwise known as The Parents' Campaign to fully fund MAEP in two legislative years or less and that he WILL VOTE TO INCREASE TAXES if that is what it takes to get it done.

Chuckled at the C-L front page this AM with the header that the $1B in agency blue-sky requests somehow represented a "funding shortage".

Now online instead of presenting the facts like KF does the C-L is saying that education wants a 13% increase. They never once mention that means over $300M more.

FYI NEJammer. Carson's wife knocked on our door some weeks back campaigning. She never once said the word Democrat until we asked about his party affiliation. She also tap danced when we asked if her hubby supported VoterID.

A Superintendents Academy? ROFLMAO Holy shit. Send 'em to a brown bagger with Susan Womack and David Blount as the guest edu-nerd.

You [DonnerKay] are the queen of factually challenged attitudes and excuses, so I cannot begin to compete.

The husband did some contract work several years back for the state dept of ed. Here's what he learned, directly from the dept head under which he worked: If you don't keep the same $$$ on your budget line, year after year, you will "lose" the money during the appropriations process. Translation: That dept he worked for (contract basis only) put $x in its budget for let's say, technology. If they didn't ask for "more" every year, or at least the same amount of $x, year in and year out, then they were not given $x during appropriations. Hence, their budget was "cut". There was no planning of projects or calculating what was actually needed. That came after the money was granted. That dept head only knew one thing: spend every last nickel given to the dept, every year, and ask at least for the same amount or more, every year, or else your budget would be "cut".

Once their budget request was granted, then they would decide how to spend the money.

Complete opposite of how the real world works.

who the hell is dorsey carson?

So, in the aftermath of the opposition to the Rankin Bond, where is:

Paul Buisson
A Real Tea Party Republican

- LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT (We all believe in that!)
- FREE MARKET SOLUTIONS (What solutions?)
- FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE (When it suits the platform and a future run.)
NOT A POLITICIAN (But I'm running for political office?)

Was he at the meeting? I am asking.

I'm still waiting for a discussion on the statutory facts of funding for districts with regard to building new schools in Mississippi.

The real concern I have is the ADDITIONAL $300MM+ in spending annually within a bureaucracy in the face of a 20 year bond for $169MM that failed.

The math does not add up. What the hell are they going to spend an additional $300MM on when their are no new schools?

Oh yeah, that's right, THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS!

No more funding for growth is not a platform for success. I do pray we look at the fundamental problem of funding physical buildings to accommodate population growth; that is the issue.

The B&B boys, Bounds & Burnham. Check out their salaries

I understand the point- sixty new SI's. However, Hewes asked a good question, why not one for principals? Truth is, the NCO's are the backbone of any army and its the principals, not the SI's that can make the biggest difference.

If we are going to go down that route.

What our resident IDIOT, Paul Buisson, does not realize is that the schools are for more than the students. It is about economic development within a community and property values. It is about a major force in attracting new businesses. These little simpletons that voted against the bond issue are punishing the students and ultimately themselves by voting this bond issue down. I am a conservative! But, I also understand that if there is one area I am going to spend a little money in my community it is on schools. They will pay for themselves.

As for the rest of Rankin county, you better realize that the reservoir and Flowood carry this county. This continuous vote against anything that benefits Northwest Rankin area will not fly. Yes Northwest got most of the money in this bond bill, but there are 30 something 6A schools in the state and NWR is one is the fastest growing school in the state. You should invest money where you are making money. TRANSLATION- put your money where you are making it so that area can continue to pay for the rest of the freaking county. Or else prepare to enter the reality that some areas of Jackson are experiencing.

"who the hell is dorsey carson?"

yeller dog democrat efforting to hoodwink that he is a blue dog. but everybody knows there ain't no blue dogs left in mizzippi.
