No crisis until you act like there’s one

My column for the Daily News is online.  It’s called, “No crisis until you act like there’s one.”  It’s about the West Bend School District’s priorities.

Here’s the conclusion:

As a citizen and voter in West Bend, I’ll start believing the district’s exhortations that there is a financial crisis when they start acting like it. How they can look citizens in the eye and honestly ask for more money when they are spending thousands of dollars on “nice to haves” like a pool and a fitness center is a mystery to me.

That’s what I do here… making friends every day…
