Its not just an 'inner city' problem, my kids school i guess you would call a 'middle income' area
had no hot water for an entire year. They never have hand washing soap, and are constantly asking parents for supply donations.
money isn't going to education anymore, its going to shiny new police cars, cameras, hiring more police, paying full time fire personel
when a volunteer force could do the job, these guy are doing absurd amounts of ot to build on ridiculous pensions, this is probably
the tip of the iceberg where tax money is going in many towns in this country.
