Charlotte-Mecklenburg is reporting that their budget is in worse shape than they originally reported and it is due to lower than expected income from the sales tax. One of the first areas they are considering cuts is the school system.
Help me understand this. Charlotte has an estimated 12% unemployment rate. If you are not working, you are not getting paid and if you are not getting paid, you are not buying! I think that pretty much explains why there is lower income from the sales tax.
So, Charlotte wants to make cuts to education. I thought education is how you improved yourself to get better jobs or higher paying jobs and if people are furthering their education, they find jobs? With jobs, they get paid. With money, they spend. With spending, there is sales tax.
I know the education cuts that Charlotte is looking at are with the elementary, middle and high schools, but why is education the first place we look to make our cuts? Education should be the last place we look to make our cuts.
