Budget Cuts a Must

There's some money missing in Nebraska's budget. So the state has no choice but to make some cuts and find ways to make more money; over $330 million actually. The biggest upset comes with the news that state aid to local schools will be cut. Already parents are freaking out and wondering what will happen to their children's education. First of all, parents today are not nearly as involved in the education of their kids as they were a 10 years ago. So why do some parents who never had a thing to say about the school system otherwise suddenly care? And why is this such a huge deal? Either way, someone is going to be upset. If the governor tried to raise taxes, people would freak. I say everyone just needs to relax and listen to what the government has to say before they make any judgments.
