Some service, please

Scotty_O says

I am going to take the liberal approach. Even if the school is on the same street 1/4 mile away, there should be equality for all children to ride the bus. Vote no on same street bus stops. All you 1/2 mile haters will get yours! Don't worry though, taxes will not go up if you choose the public (transportation) option.

Pirate says

That would be a fair solution wouldn't it?

veritas says

So "Who" doesn't pay any taxes, Mr. Breau?? How do you know this?

What in the hell does that have to do with your inability to organize your time or deal with reasonable limitations?

Could you get service? Yes - you do - apparently the same afforded to every other citizen of where you live.

I hope your pre-school child whines less than you and learns better problem solving skills.

I can't believe someone can't cut a deal between the daycare, a bus driver with a brain, or a City Councillor who is there for the purpose of helping his constituents. The Pirate can certainly empathize with not wanting to let a 5 year old child walk that distance unescorted.
The parrot thinks the parents should teach the kid to fly, but he's having one of his idiot spells; got into the catnip again.

Perhaps it's karma for never questioning what you were paying taxes for all these years. If the school is less than a 1/4 mile away I think you need to stop complaining and leave two or three minutes earlier so you won't be late. I sure hope neither one of you teaches math, 'cause that sounds like an easy word problem. "If Mr and Mrs Breau have to be at work at a set known time every day, and have to drop their kid off at school first, how much sooner do they have to leave in the morning in order to get to work on time like every other parent whose child doesn't ride a bus? Please show all work."

So Mr. Breau, where would you put the line, a 4 tenths of a mile, quarter mile, or no limit? Should every child get a ride to school? Are you willing to pay the higher property tax that would result? Those are questions you have to answer then inform your Councilor.
