If you look at the pay scale of all these school district district officals and the city oficials, you will be shocked and disappointed. Most of the money from property taxes is filling the pockets of these officials and enriches their portfolio and definitely not used in the improvement of the shoreline or anything of that kind that benefits of common and decent folks in mountain view. Its a massive thievery. But these officials will keep complaining and wanting more, because that is how greed operates in our society. Make hay while the sun shines.
