Lost in the discussion over closing a pair of Garrett County elementary schools ..

is further evidence that the leaders in Garrett County, and in turn local policy, continue to favor tourism over families. See this week's story from the Times-News and look no further than the facts on student enrollment for the evidence.

Tourism, up; local families, down.
