Sorry Rick. My partner in life reminded me that the teachers union pushed hard for this referendum, promising cost savings and increased educational offerings. She is right. This is one area my good friend Tom Bakk and I disagree. His motive was to bail out the district, as it's long range plan hasn't delivered the savings as proposed, the kids are doing worse in the classroom, not better in the classroom. But Tom feels he needs to vindicate the unions for their work on the project, hoping the voters won't notice or pay attention. We will just have to see how the voters view this extortion.

Tom knows better than to have done this, but by including other greater Minnesota districts in his proposal, he was assured of passage. Oh Tom...how could you do this to us?
