Hi, Ed, I read in The Trentonian that all three of Hamilton’s junior high middle schools plus Nottingham High and Langtree Elementary have failed the No Child Left Behind Act. I think Mayor Gilmore should look into what’s going on with our schools instead of posing for pictures with the baseball team and doing ribbon cuttings. Why should anyone be paying our high taxes if the schools are no good?

Taxing reaxing

Some critics of the No Child Left Behind Act argue that the standards are too high, unreasonable and unrealistic. Mind you, these are the same critics of school vouchers, school reforms and school accountability. But, hey, they say more money will fix the problem. So keep paying those taxes. Your money will be put to good use.
