Area I live in is rural. County has less than 30,000 people total. And yet, the county has 5 school districts. Each with a $100,000+ annual salary superintendent. How different can it be schooling kids 12 miles from my house that an additional pissing away of another $100,000 is justified ??
One superintendent for the county, one principal and one secretary in each facility, and I could make a strong case for the rest of the payroll being all teachers, bus drivers, janitors, and school cooks. (school cafeteria food builds character, burnt bland crap is good for you!)
We need to just start sucking the money out of redundant municipal governments, redundant school districts, redundant everything, and give a serious look at reorganizing the country into 25 'states' and beginning with the 25 largest Nielsen DMAs, and annexing smaller DMA's onto them would give a good start.
And note, the feds have, just to highlight one outrage, 33 agencies regulating salmon. I think that could be cut to one, and I would entertain arguments on NONE, if we just had one for 'meat'.
I've heard pols talk of surgical cuts to budgeting, I see the need for doing it with dynamite and front end loaders.
