To turf, or not to turf..

"The way I see it, we have three options," Cortez said. "We can install turf. We can buy new fields. Or we can start cutting sports."

This is our favorite line in an article that ran in today's paper. We have a 4th suggestion for Mr. Cortez.

Instead of spending any more money on athletic fields, let's get enough books and chairs for the kids as well as make concrete improvements to the educational system at EASD so that when they get into the real world they will actually be able to say something more than "would you like fries with your meal" at their place of employment! A side benefit might also be EASD getting off of the state watch list and improving test scores.

Wow, what a revolutionary concept!
