Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Please forgive me if these questions have been answered previously but I have two questions:

1) Why can't the City of Pickerington and Violet Township City Councils work together to come up with a viable solution to the development and school issues our community is facing? The only information I've found so far indicates that the City of Pickerington wants to have everything their way or no way. Is this really true? Does the City of Pickerington City Council really think it is so important that it can't cooperate to find a balanced solution or is it that there are several members of Council who are 'owned' by the BIA and just don't care what the community thinks?

2) Why doesn't the School Board make more of an issue over growth? They made sure the word got out about cutting sports and the community was in an uproar over that decision. There does not seem to be the same level of concern when it comes to the academic or possible over crowding conditions facing the schools now. Is this an issue with the School Board or is it just the people in the community are only concerned about certain issues - such as sports?

Thank you
Jeff

Jeff,
The present city council dances to the tune of
the BIA and they believe the citizens are too
stupid to see their tricks. Also take a look
at the levy donations to the schools. The builders make a token donation, while they are
taking hundreds of thousands $ into their pockets
from uncontrolled development.
