And, the Bainter's comments say it all:
"Maybe we should all

Unfortunately, the interviewer is really dumb and sophomoric. But maybe if we send a hockey stick to the Lake County Board and the School District Board, they might start reducing taxes and debt, which reduces interest payments, allowing more funds to be spent on actual needs, rather than interest.
