Until you have 50 states agree that they will no longer try to outbid
each other for pro sports teams by offering to subsidize sports
facilities to make their city/state offer a" better quality of life"
the entire point is moot. Where there is competition there will be
sweeteners in every deal. That is why charter schools and privates
schools exist... they offer something "better" though depending on the
family and most importantly the student "better" is a relative term.
The map of Hennepin County shows me that there are quite a few
"wealthier" suburban communities that fall in its boundaries and I can
assure you that the piddling amount of sales tax my family generates
will be quite a bit less than families in Maple Grove or Edina. So if
we can't fix the entire system maybe we should go with the best deal
available we can generate. This may or may not be it.
