Here's one school board member who clearly feels that obtaining the consent of the governed is simply too inconvenient.

But some elected school board members bristle at that suggestion and resent having to ask voters to increase their own tax rates.

"I've already been elected to make that decision," said Rhonda Lowe, president of the Deer Park board.

No, Rhonda, that isn't the case at all. Sorry that the requirements of state law are too much of a burden for you to follow. I'm sure that the voters of Deer Park will be more than willing to replace you with someone who has more respect for them and the requirements of state law.
