Some Newtown officials voted to tear down and rebuild Sandy Hook elementary school at the cost of 57 million dollars. In these days of austerity, surely there is something more useful to do with that money.

I think that it was a mistake to move the students to another building after the shooting, because that encouraged them to feel they should be unable to cope with being in that building, which is why people are considering spending 60 million dollars replacing the building. When you fall off the horse, you should get right back on it, and that applies here too.
