Once more, a totally arrogant decision, with huge consequences for the taxpayers-but who ever cared about them?  
[/QUOTE]  
So the [public referendum on January 23, 2007](http://www.ci.newton.ma.us/SpecElec-012307/index.htm) in which the voters approved the new high school by a overwhelming yes vote of [8532 to 6040](http://www.ci.newton.ma.us/Election/01232007.htm) doesn’t count as “caring”? Your neighbors and fellow taxpayers disagree with you. Or do you hate democracy?
