Lindsey Tugman / CNN / February 22, 2012

... Louis Petrucci, the president of the Buffalo Board of Education says he is projecting a $42 million deficit in next year's school budget. ...

... Last year, Buffalo's schools spent $5.9 million on plastic surgery which is also known as a cosmetic rider. ...

... The sweet deal that all the 3,400 teachers in Buffalo are eligible to get under one of their insurance plan options, they are billed nothing for any plastic surgery procedure, such as botox, liposuction, tummy tucks, and there is no deductible. ...

Take it as long as you can. It soon is over.

Insurance companies don't put plans like this forward if they lose money on it, meaning that the cost of these procedures is rolled into whatever sweet-heart deal the district made with the provider. No doubt that in addition to paying for these procedures, the tax payer is also shipping a healthy profit to the insurer.

The whole "Queen Carlotta of Harrisburg" trip fell apart for me when I made the discovery that the so-called "incinerator" is really a sophisticated "waste-to-energy" system. They went broke making sensible decisions.

And then, the MSM continues to use the term "Tea Party" with obvious disgust. Yeah, shame on the people who earn the money that the crony politicians steal to buy votes from the "something for nothing" crowd for getting mad and wanting less government.

Note: the GOP and their war machine which they ALWAYS want to spend MORE on is NOT the answer...

Since Ron Paul is unelectable (he refuses to pander to voters with empty promises, which just makes me want to vote for him more) -- I see no sense in voting. Douche or Turd -- it's all the same.

We are massively screwed financially, and it's our own fault. It's not peak oil (expensive oil puts more stress on the system though) -- it's greed and stupidity and poor moral character (expecting something for nothing).

True. These companies and the politicians that cater to them are acting like swarms of locusts: suck all the life out of an area, and move on to the next.

Hi, Most people might think Buffalo's school district has plenty of cash to offer perks like free plastic surgery, but that is not the case. Louis Petrucci, president of the Buffalo Board of Education, said he is projecting a $42 million deficit in next year's school budget. Petrucci said if the $5.9 million wasn't being spent on fettabsaugung or liposuction plastic surgeries, he would hire about 240 teachers.
