Don Franklin had the best question for Mike “I failed Math” Davis, at the County Commission meeting last night.
He correctly pointed out that Davidson County spends $3000 more per pupil than Wilson County, and Davidson County is under State Supervision for No Child Left Behind. He asked Davis to explain that.
Franklin’s point was probably a variation of the old adage that throwing more money at a problem isn’t going to solve that problem.
Davis showed his true colors when he responded “Davidson County needs every penny they are getting and more.”
MORE? MORE MONEY INTO A FAILING SYSTEM ALREADY AWASH WITH TAX MONEY? MORE? Are you that much of a fiscal liberal Mr. Davis.
Davis obviously believes that more and more and more money is the solution. Well Mr. Davis, answer these questions truthfully: HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? WHEN DOES IT STOP? It’s not that you can’t answer them, it’s that you will not answer them because you know you would lose your job by telling the truth about your real political beliefs.
In Saturday’s paper if you read between the lines you will see that Davis would like to see a 5cent raise every year. At what point does it stop?
Davis, you incompetent math failure, that is not the problem. A lack of real competition and a lack of real accountability of the principals, teachers, and administration is the problem.
Washington DC has a huge per pupil spending rate, and it is a failure in public education. Do we want to spend as much as DC?
Did you look at that list of positions of people in danger of being laid off by Davis? Did you see one position from BOE Headquarters? Of course not. They will make the children suffer for political gain before they consider cuts in home office departments.
At least we have Commissioners that are not as stupid as Davis and Hall would like to think they are. Thank you Don Franklin, you have my vote for County Mayor in 2010 even if I have to write it in myself.
Davis has shown his true colors. We are watching, and learning. Strong Leadership will solve our problems, and Davis is not a strong leader. Hall and Davis are dragging us down the road to financial ruin as a county. Taxing our county into prosperity will never work.
