No offense, but I AM SICK OF WAITING!
While my impatience is probably obvious, I would like to ask this again. How many petitions were circulated last night at City Council meeting? How many signatures were obtained? Will the petitions be circulated throughout the City this weekend? Bruce Rookstool stated below that he would circulate them at City Council and I read that 2 others were helping.
Obviously the time to act is NOW. There was formerly a loosely organized coalition willing to force the recall issue. Where are they now? I recall Mrs. Shaver and Mr. Fix being quoted in the papers as to their support for recall. I respectfully ask them if they are continuing their efforts given the two-faced approach that Mr. Postage is presenting for this election year. In case you forgot, he says in the papers we must slow growth. In the Columbus Board of Realtors letter, Mr. Metzger states the Mayor and Council are pro-growth.
Mr. Postage has stated publicly in the past that these citizen?’s groups, PATA and others like them are all talk and no action. Well, is he right? Are you going to stand idly by while this regime sells our children?’s future down the river?
The Honorable Robert Taft, Governor of the State of Ohio intends revealing his plan to drastically slash funding for education today. Can Pickerington Schools afford to lose more funding from the State? Who do you think will have to make up the difference? That?’s right ?– the property owners of the District. I tried to find the figure of how much the cost of the proposed levy will cost the owner of a $100K home to no avail, but wasn?’t is around $300 a year? Well, according to our friends at the Columbus Board of Realtors, the average sale price in Pickerington is $200K so that means the annual increase will be $600 a year, if my $300 number was in the ballpark. Folks, that is $50 a month. I did not just receive a $50 a month pay increase. Did you? I assume that the PLSD is bound to the mil amount they publicized. If Governor Taft crushes school funding today, as he promised, how does PLSD offset that loss? Is the proposed levy amount enough to cover this loss? Since one of our esteemed Board members said what we all wanted to hear, that if the levy passes sports would be reinstated next year (yeah, that?’s right ?– the usual threat), will they now have to publicly state that even if the levy passes, given the Governor?’s blow to education, sports will not be able to be reinstated? That will sell a levy now won?’t it?!? What other weapon do they have to bully us into passing a levy if they don?’t use sports?!?!?
Am I pi$$ed?? You?’re darned right I am. Where are the recall petitions. Where are the people who stood up said they would carry through on a recall? When will the talk STOP and the actions START? Don?’t let Lou win. Don?’t let Lou be right. I am pleading with you for my children?’s future.
