How long does it take to have the city straighten out the city and give our kids the fields we pay for?

I thought the residents whose children attend the private school using the FIELD involved in the controversy pay taxes, don't these funds pay for the upkeep of the all fields? That notwithstanding, they don't use the public school system, yet they have to shoulder the burden of support through payment of taxes to these failing entities. Where is the equity in that? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

I think it is a serious question, but public schools are supposed to take the priority in funding as well as access therefore to city facilities. Private schools certainly have access but after the public school needs have been met.

The terms public and private are obfuscations, ostensibly used to confuse the real issue of who is a taxpayer. Persons that enter a public or private entity do not leave their status as a taxpayer at the door!!!!
