Talking About Schools

Kristin Kubisiak has an article about the West Bend Schools in which I am quoted.  I have a correction.

Unemployment in West Bend is high — about 14 per- cent — and the community is hurting, Robinson said.

Unemployment is down a bit, but it’s still in the double-digits.  11% I think?  I’ll look it up later. 

“It’s important we talk about these things,” Robinson said. “Local government affects our lives and spends our money. If we really want to focus on improving our lives through the government, it’s at the local level where we can make an impact. I’m glad we have a good discussion. It gets heated now and then but ultimately we all want the same things — we just have different ideas about how to get there.”
