Abstract

In 2003, the Denver Public Schools convinced hard-pressed homeowners, many of whom already were facing foreclosure, to approve $310 million in bond money to finance "improvements" in Denver schools. It's now been revealed that this money was spent on such improvements as "new carpets" and million-dollar "playgrounds" in schools now slated for closure.
