Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Observations

1. I see in the Violet Festival brochure they claim that the parking is free at the Ridgeview Junior High School. However when you drive by you will find that they are charging $2.00 to park.

2. I also noticed that the annual beer garden is on the City owned parking lot. It was my understanding that the council had to OK the sell of Alcohol on city owned property. Did the council do this or have we found a back door way to avoid the law?

3. I also noticed that the school district treasurer is now saying that the schools will need to come back to the voters for another tax increase in 2010. They gave a promise that they would not come back for 4 years. So much for the school board's promises.

4. As a general comment, Its seems to me that our members of different groups at the schools are constantly out raising money for trips or what ever. What is the purpose of all of these trips? It seems that no matter how much money that is raised some one will come up with an idea to spend it and more.

4 - If you are refering to bands trips, those are funding by the band boosters. If you don't want to contribute... don't.
