Best schools, safe, and has a high property tax.
10 miles south of us is Detroit. Where the Detroit voters re-elected Kawammi kilpatrick despite having constant public corruption.
Do I want those voters to impact my schools? Do those voters want to spend 9,000$/yr on property taxes?
Its far too simplistic to think that there is only redundancies at play.
Edit: Also, it looks like Kwame Kilpatrick hasn't stood for office in more than a decade.
Exactly what axe are you grinding, here?
These kid's parents work two or three jobs, so we give them subsidized after school programs. Their housholds are food insecure, so we give them breakfast and lunch so they can focus on schooling and not their empty stomachs.
So much of this spending is just to try and bring these students closer to parity in the moment, but despite all of that, they don't get any that before they enter school in kindergarten, so they're sort of perpetually behind. It has next to nothing to do with government waste, or throwing good money after bad despite what that terrible "Waiting for Superman" movie told all the white flight parents looking for validation.
