I live in Ground Zero Liberal land where most of the County, City, School Boards and other organizations are VERY Liberal in their ideology. We have some of the highest taxes in the Country and even when the cash flowed in during the peak of the economic boom our schools were deteriorating. Yeah you could say our Governor is Republican but it would be a stretch to call him Conservative. Even if he were the Legislature is so tilted to the Left it would not make much of a difference.

So much money is and has been wasted in Fluff Feel good programs while schools have been left by the wayside. I blame Nancy Pelosi and the band of feel good Liberals who have and continue to have control of the government in Northern California. Her power as House Speaker has done nothing but go to her head. Now that the cash has run dry the schools are in more trouble...But the fluff feel good programs continue to be funded.

I blame Government and those in control on the local level where I live.
