LETTER: School funding shows GOP cares least about those whose needs are the ...

Historically, the Republican Party has shown that its leaders care least about those whose needs are greatest.

I have a strong feeling that the policy called “equalization,” which distributes a greater share of state funds to districts with smaller tax bases, was not initiated by Republican leadership, but is a legacy of prior, more fairness-oriented Democratic administrations.

Regardless of the origin of equalization, it is telling that this governor chooses this policy for cuts no matter how unfair they are.

Voters should remember that, historically, Democrats have stood for fairness in distribution of public funding, while Republicans have generally stood for just the opposite.

Sincerely,

Jim Baird
