And for some reason, Carly brings to mind “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” by the Spin Doctors.

So, AJ, what are you prepared to do — out of your own pocket, not the pockets of others, to better educate our kids?

And I pay a full one percent property tax on the full market value of my home, which is more than most “advocates” for public education funding can say. I get so tired of John Rothmann on KGO radio on this subject. He has kids in public school and, commendably, has spent more than 30 years involved with SF school system affairs. But he opposes all reforms and whines all the time about K-12 funding levels (which are pathetic) but then turns right around and defends the Prop. 13 residential property tax system as is. If you dare to mention to him, as I have, how much better things could be if he and others would pay the same property tax as more recent buyers with homes of comparable fair market value, he exclaims how he couldn’t afford his deluxe SF home (which is probably mostly paid for) if he had to pay the same as others. But it’s okay for others to pay the higher taxes so that he can pay less, send his kids to school and yak about how much he supports public education. California “I’ve got mine, the hell with you” hypocrites!

Goria Romero got my vote. It won’t be transferred to Torlakson. And I don’t need any lectures on supporting public education. I have no kids of my own but do at least 200 hours of elementary school classroom volunteer work a year, have voted for every parcel tax and have a close family member who teaches in the SRV school district.
