It harks back to an earlier blog post of mine. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a sample that&#8217;s an eye opener:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;All the mischief in Duluth began once it was discovered that there was a way to authorize a building program without a vote. Superior had a referendum. They got a good deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Superior Schools have half as many students as the Duluth Schools. The cost of their school overhaul was $47 million. That&#8217;s far less per student than the Red Plan. Here are the round figures:<\/p>\n<p>Superior 5,000 students \/ $50,000,000 = $10,000 per child<br \/>\nDuluth 10,000 students \/ $300,000,000 = $30,000 per child<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s just the beginning of the comparison. When Superior built its new schools the State of Wisconsin agreed to pay 2\/3rds of the cost. The Superior project cost $47 million but Superior taxpayers only paid $15 million dollars for their new schools. That&#8217;s one tenth what Duluth taxpayers will pay under the Red Plan. Superior paid $3,000 per child. Duluth will pay $30,000 per child.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve rolled a number of blog posts and emails together to come up with this week&#8217;s Not Eudora column.
