More Teachers? Better Education? Not if Mayor Stanton gets his way

By Sal DiCiccio
4551 new teachers for Phoenix… that is how many NEW teachers we could hire for the cost of just one new mile of rail.
Mayor Stanton and others are pushing a new $30 billion tax and spend proposal for transit costing $209 million per mile to build and operate.
Make no mistake about it, every penny taken from our citizens and wasted on these boondoggles and government waste is one less dollar our hardworking taxpayers can use for critical services we really need.  Now is not the time and place for us to waste money on ideas meant to benefit city insiders who will benefit from this money.
As a city and as a state we need to do a better job of prioritizing limited dollars.  We must do better and we must start to make choices based on things that matter.
Our families must be protected first and be the priority.
Read and watch what the Phoenix Business Journal and Channel 10 FOX News had to say about this massive boondoggle coming to voters this August.
