da fuq are you talking about? My property tax bill is itemized every year and by far and away the largest percentages are paid to my local school districts including my local community college that I attended which is one of the most highly accredited Jr. colleges in the state. The second is our water reclamation district which is cool with me because II'd rather not be drinking swamp water from my taps..
Begs the question as to what would happen if the GOP had all the power in the states mentioned. There's no evidence from the red states that equality of opportunity, equitably financed schooling or any of the other issues mentioned are being handled any better by republicans.
One thing for sure, the money needed to address these problems would be harder to come by in the recessionary economies the GOP creates like clockwork.
Are you comfortable with the following? I mean if you want to hold up GOP governance at the state level as an example of why there should be MORE GOP governance.....
