Welp, almost every year, except 2012 and last year, I’ve been astounded by the majority of stupid, self-flagellating Sterling Town Meeting voters who turn out to screw themselves via ever higher property tax rates to approve the bloated, incompetent, failing, LGBTQ-brainwashing WRSD’s skyrocketing budgets despite total student enrollment and student performance numbers falling like a rock. Of course, this is Massachusetts so nothing should surprise me when it comes to Libtard voting patterns.
Under the WRSD Agreement, if 2 of the 5 member towns, at their Annual Town Meetings, vote down the WRSD’s proposed next fiscal year budget, the WRSD Committee (vapid, incompetent poseurs) and the Superintendent (dishonest, misleading, and manipulative) are forced to fashion a smaller budget proposal for re-vote.
This year Sterling and Paxton voters had a chance to shoot down the WRSD’s bloated $129 Million budget, up $7 Million since last year’s despite WRSD total student enrollment dropping by 119 in the same period, since Paxton had a joint WRSD-Paxton Town Budget Proposition 2 ½ Override on its 12 May 2025 town election ballot. That Proposition 2 ½ Override FAILED—
MEANWHILE, HOWEVER, at Sterling’s 5 May 2025 Annual Town Metting, Sterling’s Finance Committee WRSD Boosters, by a vote of 5-1, “recommend[ed]” passage of the WRSD’s FY 2026 bloated budget request. Sterling’s compliant. stupid, self-flagellating Town Meeting voters, ever-ready to screw themselves via higher property taxes, then voted likewise.
CONGRATULATIONS! upon screwing yourselves, and the rest of us who happen to possess intelligence and common sense.
