"Political Savvy" needed to pass school bond referendums

Indiana University reported that 42% of school bond referendums submitted to voters since the adoption of the new law were approved. In contrast to predictions that no one would ever be able to pass another bond issue, IU concluded that getting a bond issue passed depended on convincing voters that the district was after "needs", not "wants". Sounds like the most important thing is to tell the truth.

What honesty has to do with "political savvy" was not explained.

Savvy is lying while convincing others that you are telling the truth.

Honesty is telling the truth.

To most politicians, there's no difference. To the people paying the bills, there is a huge difference.

Phil-

Sorry to see your blog is closed, but at some point you question the purpose. If FWCS would try honesty instead of bullshit, substance instead of image, and keep their hands out of our pockets, I'd be happy just to leave them to their ultimate demise.
