When it comes to raising the city's admissions tax to fix our crumbling schools, I'm for it. Cincinnati Public Schools are falling apart. Chunks of ceilings land on the desks of schoolkids.
Bricks tumble from schoolhouse walls.
Playgrounds crumble under students' sneakers. As the schools deteriorate, so does the education of the children who sit and try to learn in decrepit, poorly maintained buildings. And, as a result, our community is deteriorating, too. Public education, I believe, is for the public good. When it goes bad, everyone suffers.
