   The bill has come due at Anoka-Hennepin schools, which passed two of
   its four referendums last month, which will raise millions of dollars
   in additional property taxes. [1]Education Minnesota wants it all.
   Now.
   Sandra Skaar, president of the union local, referring to the efforts
   of the "vote yes" committee asks:

     "How do we explain that all of their work for the levy yields a
     substandard settlement for teachers?"

   In case you unaware, these committees are largely drawn from the ranks
   of the district's employees, mostly unionized teachers.
   A better question would be:

     How do we explain to those who voted yes that virtually all of that
     money will go to the teachers?
