Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Was the School Board meeting last night or tonight? They have on their schedule a meeting scheduled for last night but on their agenda they have July 11th listed.

Does anyone know what they are going to do about a bond issue or operating levy in November?

Same old...

An age-old strategy of theirs is to transpose days and dates to confusr the masses. Sin now and apologize after the meeting.

Chances are that they will seek to increase the amount of the construction levy to take into consideration the requirements that have grown since the original failure and also run the operating levies at the same time.

Makes for some interesting calculations when I estimate my taxes for next year!

$65 Million??????

The Dispatch reports this morning that they MAY ask for $65,000,000 bond issue to build the two elementary schools, a Middle School and capital improvements.

That's Funny

Let's see, when we first started trying to build two new elementaries, the BOE stated publicly and on the record we would need a third middle school at the start of the 2008 school year. The facilities review board confirmed this last year. No one listened. The math doesn't lie--it can't!

Now we're stuck trying to catch up again and in an era of rising materials and fuel prices, rising interest rates as the idiots on the Federal Reserve Board force us into recession and a 50% rise in the the minimum wage staring us in the face. Makes me wish we could criminalize stupidity.
