Re: Ontario Teams in Jeopardy for 2012/2013?
So the bomb went off in Ontario. Well all across the US the school system is about to implode. Many school systems have shown no fiscal restraint and have racked up massive unsustainable debt load. Public union teachers have used their political money clout to get more and more benefits and salary for less work. Unfunded pension plans are a crisis every where. For some one to work for 30 years and then pay them a large portion of their ending salary for the rest of their life with full benefits is a nice deal. Unfortunately mathematically it doesn't work. Greece is finding that out now. Our team has already had our school district divorce us. We are now independent. It was painful. Every team that is married to a school system should begin thinking about what they would do not if but when this happens to them. First has this great vision of future growth, however I don't believe they understand the severity of the school problem and FIRST is at this time reliant on the public school system in a big way. Ontario and Chicago are in the news now. This is beginning to happen all across the country. What will your team do. Have you thought about it.
