Nowhere, anywhere, is there a guarantee that passage of the meals tax will lower property taxes. A far more likely scenario is that if the meals tax is enacted, it will not raise enough money to satisfy the schools and property taxes will go up anyway.
FCPS wastes money. All too well documented are cases such as the $9,000/day music and neuroscience consultant, the $10,000/hour commencement speech, the $80,000/month FCPS spends on travel and all of the perks (retirement, housing allowance, car, phone, etc.) that they give Karen Garza.
FCPS needs to cut spending. If this means certain "popular" programs have to go, then they go. The mission of FCPS is to serve the student community, whatever it may be.
Vote no on the meals tax on November 8.
