Well Justin I am just sitting here waiting for the polls to close. There are two ballot measures that will effect schools. Both of them are to maintain taxes our legislature enacted. The money from these goes to schools. Unfortunately raising taxes in a recession is never a good idea, but neither is laying off thousands of teachers. Very conflicted on this one. If it does not pass. I have a .01% chance of having a job. If it passes that jumps to 50%. Only 9 more minutes until I find out what happens.

Well looks like the ballot measures are going to pass. That means I have a much better chance of keeping my job. Only 50% but that is way better than it was.

Very pleased to hear your job is that much more secure Todd. my wife has been picketing out side the cave demanding an increase in funds for text books (freakin expensive) as well as teacher allowance....I think she going to win this one as well.
