(2) I am sure you are aware the Taxpayers have soundly defeated every tax measure and increase this City and County have put forth in the last 10 years, and this latest statement is not going to help your cause. The private/homeschooling movement is clearly gaining momentum (our private school has a waiting list of at least 100 kids) and with the incoming Secretary of Education that is surely to be confirmed this momentum is only going increase.

Being a local homeowner, property taxpayer, and having three home/private schooled young boys who are getting ready enter high school has sparked my interest in 4J policies and philosophies.

I would plead with you to strongly reconsider this issue.
