At their special meeting tonight, The Board of Education further revised their budget by -$525,000 through the following reductions. These cuts do not represent any lay-offs, avoid reductions that could have potentially increased class sizes, and have the least impact on students. Vote YES on June 16 to fund our schools!

Many who voted yesterday to defund our schools and services are the same folks who voted in this President who is using the office to shield himself from accountability for his lifetime of tax fraud and evasion, while further enriching himself and his cronies.

The Justice Department agreement with President Donald Trump over his leaked tax returns includes a guarantee that the tax agency will no longer pursue any claims over tax liabilities it may have against Trump, his family members and his companies.

The nine-page settlement agreement made public by the Justice Department May 18, set up a $1.776 billion fund for "victims of lawfare and weaponization," did not include any mention of the government's efforts to go after Trump, his family and his companies over longstanding tax disputes.

On May 19, DOJ posted a separate one-page document on its website – signed by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche – with the new details. It includes what appears to be an all-inclusive release in which the Internal Revenue Service is “FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED” from “prosecuting or pursuing” any and all efforts to determine if Trump and the other parties are liable for non- or under-payment of taxes, interest, attorney’s fees or expenses incurred by the government.
