    “On this issue, I think tech will vote No,” Boyapati said. “It’s a question of ‘Do I pay the extra tax or move elsewhere?’”

    Fucking leave already if you have no interest in contributing.

    If there was impartial and empirical evidence to show that the schools would not lose money by having this repealed.

    And

    That enough money was being donated by those with money to the schools.

    Then I’d say repeal it. The school is getting their money. But I doubt anyone can demonstrate that. So have the tax. Don’t repeal it. Pay your fair share.
