Unsurprisingly, Flagg's numbers are incorrect.

Neil Flagg is apparently blogging for Levant's new site. His numbers are wrong. 2016 Gross op budget up just 2.7%.

Flagg combines the gross operating budget AND the rate supported budget to get his 2015 numbers. Not a correct comparison.

Anyway, I hate to give that any attention, but worried someone might read it and think, "hey, maybe this is reality!"[/QUal
Not giving these clowns any critical attention led us to a ford administration. The media needs to shout about the inaccuracies this type of propaganda is based on. Thanks Matt.
