Enough is Enough Mission Statement:

Seniors and those living on fixed or moderate incomes live in fear. The middle class is being dismantled and the school system operates in constant crisis.

The mission statement of Enough is Enough is to:

  1. Defeat the override and
  2. Join with other groups in the community and other communities in the state to begin to repair a system that is broken.
Overrides cannot do this and our elected government need our help. We cannot do this alone.

James Kent
Co-Chair, Enough is Enough

According to these State statistics, both enrollment and the ratio of students to teachers has remained relatively unchanged, while salaries have risen dramatically:
