Watched with interest the story last night on KBTX about budget woes at BISD blamed on federal cuts and the disarray in Texas politics.

They are not alone as almost every governmental entity is singing a version of this same song setting the stage for tax increases. Wonder if the Federal money they talk about losing was COVID related funding and grants? Those are supposed to have been one-time supplemental aid to get through the disruption of the pandemic. Unfortunately, many assumed the payout and easy money would continue to flow and now the budgets are crunched.
Pay attention to the tax-and-spenders at all levels of government. The Feds all the way down to the locals are coming for your wallet. We need more business-people in government--not those who have spent most of their careers perpetuating the bureaucracy shielded from any type of accountability!
Having to live within a budget and limited income--what a concept?
