Cutting jobs isn't the answer
VB needs to appropriate their funds better. Education is an investment in our future. Tourism brings a lot of money to the area, but is should not be the focus. We don't need higher taxes etc. We just need to put the dollars where they should go!
VBPS
Here is your change? Good job voting!
AUDIT!
Audit the lottery money. Is it being spent the way the bloated tax and spend city officials say??? Where is it???
School budget shortfall
This is an outrage. God help us.

MITT ROMNEY
did not create this problem. The wasteful, irresponsible and unaccountable beauracrats and elected local and state officials did. If Mitt Romney were in charge this might not have happened. It sounds as if you are quite satisfied with the status quo.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is Mitt Romney's solution! That's how he became wealthy, by firing many thousands of workers. Bonuses.
Yes
Yes if it is the overly paid administration/staff.
Raise the gas tax.
That seems to be what many believe would solve the roads problems.
Maybe it would solve the school budget problem and find a cure for cancer, too!
Ha! Ha!
Thinking a gas tax increase would put more money toward the roads is like believing the lottery money would provide more money for the schools.
How's that working out for ya?
How many times do we have to be the butt of these scams before we learn?
Raising taxes CANNOT be the solution to every problem!
middle school and JV sports
middle school and jv sports are great---but do not think this is training ground to help our students get college scholarships and a pro career----look at how many play middle school and HS sports, and try to name 1 student per year from our area that makes it to the pros---thousands play and maybe one makes it to the pros
the students would be better off working on their education
