Como's dutiful pitch

I don't blame Joe Como for the pabulum in today's Freeman. After all, he was only doing what he was told. The editorial is just another piece of the Waukesha school boards game plan for the upcoming referendum. If you missed it, the start of this funding war was the teachers scaring the students with a "cut list", than tossing out the "R" word as a "possibility". Now comes the "this time it really is for the kids" shpeel (you've played your part well Mr. Como). Soon to appear, "teachers just can't survive with any less" boo hoo. This is why I have to stick by my last "dispatch". The school board has this one figured from start to finish. But keep in mind, battles never go as planned. What needs to happen is the focus needs to be moved from "the children", to the teachers union. If this happens, an uphill battle, we may win this one.
