Mark,
I have copied one of your postings below. Should the school board still sue builders and developers? Where is your outcry now? Why aren't you slinging mud at Larry Sigman, Lori Sanders and Wes Monhollen now? They made decisions based on money they don't, and won't, have. Gail Oaks is looking pretty smart now, isn't she? The BIA and Heatherbrook Developers have given NOTHING to the schools. NOTHING but overcrowding and higher taxes. Good job, Mark.
Some friendly advice - STICK TO THE ISSUES!

Board MUST Collect Donations
8-10-2003
I was upset to read in today's Dispatch that the BIA is now 'hedging on donations' to PLSD extracurricular activities, and apparently now is trying to tie the donation promised in June to an action by the Pickerington City Council.
In Ohio, an oral agreement (or promise) has the same legal authority as a written agreement. And, in this case, since our undertanding of the oral agreement has been extensively reported in various media sources allowing the other party ample time to correct any misunderstanding, I think we have far more than just an 'oral' promise.
Fee colletion for athletes and band members will take place on August 13, 14, 15, 19 & 20th from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at PHS Central for all schools.
I would encourage our Board members to take action tomorrow evening to invoice all outstanding 'promised' fees and if they are not paid by August 20th at 8 p.m. take the parties to court.
I think our school board would find very open-minded judges in Lancaster and would find 100% of the community behind their action.
I trust, however, the BIA will understand their legal commitments and pay the $75,000 by 8 p.m. on August 20th & their other commitments by the due dates established by the PLSD board!
