Let me tell you a little story. I spent my high school years in a pathetic little town called Kalkaska, Michigan. Last year, the residents of this town voted to approve a $6 million bond issue (a lot of money for such a small town) for a new sports complex. Here’s the kicker: In 1993, this very same town made national news headlines by shutting down its entire school system in March (a full three months before the end of the school year) because they had no money left. Why did they have no money left? Because the residents voted to turn down a millage that would have kept the schools open. So, now your kid might not be able to spell or show you where Africa is on a map, but hey, he can ice skate anytime he wants.
