If you thought the “split-shift” was bad, you will truly regret what happens to public education in unless the mill level passes. Today, from noon to 8:00pm you have the opportunity to ensure the children of the community continue to receive a great education by supporting the mill levy. Get off your ass and vote!

Thanks!

It's only 9:55 a. m. as I type and the polls don't open until noon. At noon, however, I will be heading over to the high school to vote. Yeah, the split shift SUCKED.

I remember going to high school and having to be there at 7 for my first class. I had a break in the middle of the day and didn't get out until four. It was dark when I left for school and almost dark when I went home during the winter. It was nasty.

So did it pass?

Yes, I'm happy to report, the levy passed decisively. Miles City usually comes through for its public schools and teachers.

It passed 903 to 644.

Excellent news. I am so glad the voters of Miles City are much smarter than morans like "the man from snowy plains", who thinks schools should be run like a business.

I mean, what an idiot.
