YES I TO WAS AT THE MEETING TUES. AND YES IT WAS A FARCE AND DISGRACE TO THE PEOPLE OF PICKERINGTON. THE FIRST THING I WANT TO ADRESS IS THE FACT THE CROWD WAS WAY TO LARGE FOR THE BUILDING, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED AND RESCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER MEETING PLACE. IF THE FIRE DEPT. HAD BEEN CALLED IM SURE SOME ACTION WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN, I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE POLICE OFFICERS THERE ABOUT THE DANGER IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AND HE SAID AS LONG AS THE CROWD LEAVES HIM A PATHWAY HE WAS GOING TO ALLOW THE MEETING TO CONTINUE---THE PATH WAY WAS NOT LEFT OPEN.ALSO I KNOW ONE OF THE BUILDERS AND HE TOLD ME THAT HIS BOSS ''DIRECTED'' ALL OF HIS EMPLOYEES TO GO---BIA SPONSORED A FREE DINNER AT DOMINOS FOR ALL THE BUILDERS AND WORKERS AND WERE TOLD TO GET IN YOUR TRUCKS AND HEAD TO THE
COUNCIL MEETING, SOME WERE ACTUALLY PAID.I RESPECT AND LIKE DAVE SHAVER VERY MUCH BUT I MUST DISAGRREE WITH HIS NOTION THAT WE MUST PASS THIS NEW SCHOOL TAX IN MAY. I FOR ONE AM TIRED OF PUTTING ALL THE RESPONABILITES ON OUR SHOULDERS, LETS BE REAL WHO HAS CAUSED THIS ENTIRE MESS, YES THATS CORRECT THE CITY COUNCIL WITH ALL THE ANNEXATION AND REZONING. I SAY NO MORE NEW TAXES UNTILL GROWTH STOPS OR SLOWS SO THE SCHOOLS CAN CATCH UP---PAY TO PLAY IS A GOOD THING AS IT DOES TAKE SOME BURDEN OFF RETIRED FOLKS AND PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, I WOULD GLADLY PAY FOR MY CHILDS AVTIVITIES. AS DAVE STATED THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WILLING TO PASS THE TAX AND PUT THE BURDEN BACK ON THE PEOPLE BUT THERE ARE JUST AS MANY AND MAYBE MORE WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO PASS THE TAX, AND AS I SAID IM ONE OF THEM---NO MORE NEW TAXES! I HAVE BEEN THE UNOFFICIAL CONTACT PERSON FOR A RECALL EFFORT FOR A SHORT TIME BUT HAVE RECIEVED ONLY ONE OFFER OF HELP---IMPATIENT SPOUTED OFF BUT HAS NEVER CONTACTED ME--I NEED HELP IN HOW TO PROCEED, WORDING OF THE RECALL PETITON, ETC. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS I AM SERIOUS, IS IT TRUE THAT THERE REALLY ARE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE THAT READ AND WRITE ON THIS SITE---LETS UNITE
THANKS BRUCE ROOKSTOOL
