<P>Dale,</P>
<P>Once again, here too, you twist and turn the concepts to exclude other factors to make excuses.</P>
<P><STRONG><U><EM>Once again, you offer statistics and whine to go with it. You offer no detailed plan to deal with how the public educational system can cut the budget and NOT cut services for the children and educators. I challenge you to come with a plan. None of this comparing and more statistics of Public vs. Private. They are not the same thing, private schools cheat the rules, that is a fact, don't skirt that FACT like you have in the past. Show Vision 2020 a detailed plan of how you would meet the same legal standards, same opportunities for children, same treatment of teachers on a smaller budget. You haven't provided that information because you know it can't be done. </EM></U></STRONG> </P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>"If Moscow's population were to decrease from 28,000 people to 23,000 people
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>over the course of 10 years, would you be in favor of increasing
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>inflation-adjusted spending by 100% to the fire department, law enforcement,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>>road maintenance, parks, sewage maintenance, ...?"</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>If the alternatives were to have no parks, no sewage, no fire protection, and no law enforcement;</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>or for us to be forced to move and live in huddled masses with less parks, less sewage treatment, less law enforcement, and less fire protection;</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>or to go without one of the previous services;</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>or to pay only a portion and receive ineffective services from all the about services then</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P> Yes I would. </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>Likewise, this like asking would if you would rather have half the surgery you need and pay $3000 or pay $10000 and get the entire surgery. Kind of pointless to get half the surgery.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>>"That's the relative numbers that the MSD has downsized in the last 10 years."</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>You make horrible misleading comparisons Dale. This like comparing Cars to computers. Computers cost 50% less every five years and the technology doubles. Cars double in price every 5 years. A car doesn't crash 5x a day either.</P>
