This guy was more libertarian than Barry Goldwater's really libertarian nephew, but he was willing to agree to spending hikes as part of a package deal.

Ty, look at that this way, I pay about $5K in local taxes (property) that go in part to education. Per my earlier post, this coming school year I will pay almost $30K for private education because the public system in Seattle is toxic. In 4 years my estimated non-inflation adjusted tab will be $65K. This is all for elementary school.
Applying simple math, do you think I would be willing to pay a few thousand more a year in taxes for public education that worked?
Sheeeyit, in 2010 you could up my tax bill to $35K and I would still have savings left over for a bottle of a Dom a day.....
