That is right. They raise them at the local level, and in many instances those people at that level vote ``no'' on the school board levy. Some States, like Ohio, it is elected. It just cannot be assessed. So in Ohio, the average person who lost their job and are making $10,000 less, and their kids' college tuition is up, and here comes the school board levy and they vote ``no,'' who is hurt then? We are all hurt then, because how are we going to compete with other countries who are focusing on educating their kids? How are we going to compete with an engineer in China who makes $5 an hour?
