It really is no difference from how any of us budget.  Do we go "bond" our new boiler, security cameras, computer upgrades, wtc?  No, we typically figure this is our operation and maintenance costs for the lifestye we can afford, which is something ASD lost sight of a long time ago.  So now that the bonds were voted down, we see Mr Graff adcocating a poll (which costs $) to find out what went wrong rather than having the common sense to read the (free) tea leaves. Talk about tone deaf, wow.
