Franklin School Board Should Eliminate Private School Busing
Friday, July 17, 2009 at 10:05AM 
FranklinNOW blogger Kevin Fischer's quarrel with FPS’ plans to save Franklin taxpayers $90,000 by cancelling taxpayer-funded busing for kids attending private schools, defies logic, reason, and simple common sense. And his repeated references to Franklin School Board member Janet Evans as a "rookie" is childish buffoonery, but this is nothing new coming from the guy who works for Sen. Mary "I voted against TABOR before I flip-flopped in favor of it" Lazich.
With the school district facing an expected 15.14% cut in state funding, or somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.7 million, the board owes it to taxpayers to cut every dollar wherever possible, and that includes its plans to spend $875,000 for a fiber optic cable for the district.
Like his boss, Fischer is obviously a “skimmer,” and a poor one at that. Evans clearly outlines Contracts for Private School Pupils Only (s. 121.55(3), Wisconsin Statutes), and the logic behind the district’s decision in her post which Fischer linked in his irrelevant and irrational post.
BOTTOMLINE: The district is within its legal rights to cancel this program, and is morally obligated to do so for the majority of taxpayers, as well as the families and students it serves.

What is manifesting on his neck?

That is diaper rash!
PUBLIC FPS BUSING vs. FIBER OPTICS & EXTRAVAGANT PATZ SALARY
It's a landslide victory for public busing for FPS! Prove me wrong and ask the taxpayers of Franklin what they think about it!!
STEP # 1 BEFORE ALL ELSE: Eliminate the $875,000 lunatic-fringe proposal for a fiber optic cable during the days of the "Obamanation Privation" [not a Roaring 20's dance step], and then reduce Patz's salary to something commensurates with the Superintendents of districts that are similar to Franklin's and leave the FPS busing continue to serve as a viable and basic requisite.
Bryan M. : Very observant, Dr. Maersch. Please allow me a second opinion. I have participated in cytogenetic lab work for three years. I am leaning to the phenomenon of a stimulated latent marsupial genetic code that grew a pouch to receive a foot that often goes into this area. ~ Dr. I. M. DEMAHN
JON Z: Regarding your question: "What is manifesting on his [Phisher Fischer] neck?" I am not a physician but that jaw-sack sure looks like his brains have "sunk to a new low"! ~ Seymour Troothe
Sorry Dr. I. M Demanh - I am not splitting my fee on this one. I still day it is a case of diaper rash or at least a YEAST INFECTION.
