From the transcript
There was a school board meeting and there is a recording that approximately $900,000 was cut from their budget and they were able to find, quote, unquote, inefficiencies. No positions were cut from the school district and they were able to find that money inside of their budget. I think that we overfunded the school district and again, I'll say it over and over, the borough, the school district and the city all need to tighten their belts. So I definitely would not support this.
