But by all means, lets keep cutting taxes and letting rich people hide their money wherever. Its not at all possible that this kind of abuse is in part caused by understaffing and a general disregard in financial terms for the value of public education.
- bluGill 7y agoThis is Illinois, those who want to cut taxes are a minority and rarely have power.
- Shivetya 7y agosorry, this is caused by government and buried by the same. it is the lack of accountability most government agencies have that abuses like this fester and only surface with people aghast. We pour billions into school systems but it is mostly aimed at the adults if not retirees of those systems. I will give you my favorite link about Illinois, it describes the problem we face, we have let politicians reward themselves and their supporters to the point we spend too much sustaining golden retirements and not enough on the here and now[0]. This state is not alone in this problem.
