Drastic cuts?
Did I read your article correctly? The Columbus School District is going to have “drastic cuts” due to a budget cut of less than one half of one percent? (‘Drastic’ cuts may be needed at CMSD, April 11) It’s literally a rounding error — round it off to the nearest percent. Do we really have to protect every government program and every government employee from the economic challenges that we commoners face? Large corporations, small businesses, and working stiffs face far larger uncertainties every quarter.
