Gavra, likely, neither side will consider the “monitor” objective.
Besides, though I’m not going to pretend to know what all of the issues/taynas are, let’s take ZD’s issues (although a couple seem a bit far fetched) as an example. One community considers separate busing and special ed in KJ to be necessities, and art and music to be extras. The other says the opposite. Who’s right? It’s subjective. Who gets to decide? We live in a democracy, and an independent monitor might just serve to take the ability to decide out of the hands of those who should have it, namely, the voters, whose money it happens to be.
