So if this happened in 1986... Why is it happening again? Why didn't they learn from that? I saw a bumper sticker years ago the said, "Lord grant us another oil boom and we'll try not to screw it up." Well he did and we did. Voters, including and especially teachers voted against their own best interest in voting for candidates with platforms on God, guns, gheys, and abortion. You now have R's with super majority in both the house and senate as well holding every elected state office. How's that working out for you? A very scary political lobby organization is ALEC. They are doing a great job buying politicians at the lower state levels to further an extreme agenda. Educate yourself on who really owns your elected officials. GPP, you sound just like our supt. One year, in his start of school speech, he spent 25 min explaining groups like ALEC and Chiefs for Change to us. It's really disturbing when you do some research.

Well Word the other day was there is a bill to consolidate all schools that do not have at least 500 students ,k-12 Supposedly this over a 90 percent backing and will pass easy this spring Another bill is consolidate all k-8 schools that do not have at least a "B" rating And are closer than 30 miles to another district I will be shocked if either of those pass. Those rural legislators like getting re-elected.

Some sure are stupid. Just like coaches.

It's not going to be pretty boys. They are not chicken little saying the sky is falling. This may be as bad or worse as 1986. Some hard choices are going to have to be made and none are good. Don't you guys host like 5? That's more than enough for a track budget and then some, money wise coming in we "host" 3. one is our HS meet, a JH meet, and then we host the lucky 7 conference meet which we get $500. our AD has already told us our athletic budget is going to get slashed close to 20% next year. we get our entry fees from the athletic budget.

The funny thing is, this state has plenty of god and guns and nobody is going to take that away. And then the abortion rates are now lower than they have been since Roe vs. Wade was decided. We have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us.

Most of you know that one of our coaches was recently elected to the state senate. The joker that he ran against was convinced he was running against BHO. That's the problem with our electorate, usually. They vote, within our state, on issues that ARE NOT issues in our state. I tend to vote to send dems to OKC and repubs to Washington.

I actually have historically voted for who I think the best candidate is. Only in the last 8 years or so have I been anywhere close to party line. Still have only voted party line 2 times. Not everybody looks at all the issues and or candidates.
