Older citizens routinely vote against school bond proposals.

How about because someone paid for your education, not just your parents.

This is my problem with corporations getting tax exemptions.
They want their educated employees, but they don't want to pay for the education.
Ummm... maybe not... maybe they do want dullards to pick their cotton.
