Taking the bull by the horns (the bull mouse, that is)

Ah, yes, the bull mouse: that fictitious creature haunting the dreams of many a fearful hunter.

As shadow-fearing hunters themselves, the folks over at SavetheHilliardSchools grabbed a buck bull mouse by the horns with their endeavor into the wicked world of school finance. Over pizza and pop, they came up with this "candidate charter":
As taxpayers, parents and involved citizens of the Hilliard City School District, we will communicate the concerns and expectations of the District's constituency to the Board of Education, Administration and employee organizations in a concise form in order to assist in establishing the goals and action plans necessary for the sustained quality, success and fiscal solvency of the District.
Action plan for fiscal solvency??? That's easy -- keep passin' them levies. And then Hilliard can spend to its heart's content.

For a self-proclaimed bunch of hard-hitting change agents, they only throw softballs. Wanna bet the board and district are snickering in fright?

note: Keep in mind these very same folks supported the recent Hilliard levy. Sure they threaten revolt if their demands for change aren't met, but then they propose "change" that is simply business as usual. As I said all along, these folks are Hilliard's useful idiots.
