I’ve Been Rubbed The Wrong Way! GROSS!
Local layabout and conservative talking point regurgitator, Gary Gross, announced in a post earlier today that I had been rubbed (and apparently not in a good way).

How dare these districts try to recoup some of the funds lost or stolen. His method of punishment? Restricting local districts ability to levy money from their local community: St. Paul, Minn. — State Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, says schools should only hold levy votes in even-numbered years, when … Continue reading
