That part of Cokely's taxes , and all the private schools tax payers, that go to public education is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the total bill for public education. To lose those taxes from the base would have minimal if no affect.

The money private schools and private school parents would have to pay to travel out of state for games/matches would, I think, equal or exceed what they are paying in school taxes. These increased cost, plus tuition and fees, can be expected to force many private school patrons to relook attending the private school versus attending their neighborhood public school. Cokely needs to seriously look at what he is willing to accept or propose.

He has not, nor do I think he will, address the facts, stats as he called them, of the current list of state champions. If he did address the issue, stats, he would have to defend them. Something very hard to do without without getting irrational.

Facts (stats). Just the facts (stats) mam!
