So voters are getting fed up

Voters in New Jersey only approved 53.4% of the school budgets presented. link
The 53.4 percent approval rate was among only five in the last 30 years that fell below the 60 percent mark. At the same time, just 15.7 percent of registered voters cast ballots statewide, a slight increase from last year.

In addition to the base budget votes, only 28 of 78 separate ballot questions for additional programs were approved, with lower class sizes and courtesy school busing likely to take the toughest hits, officials said.
Could it be that the voters are finally getting fed up? Nah, that would be asking for too much.

Yes it is. But, you reap the savings whenever you paint your house, cut your lawn or buy from Walmart.
