Saw in the paper today that the Groveport School system is in academic watch.

Are their administrators really going to help our district and be an asset to our school board? Why hasn't Vail addressed this issue?

You've missed my point. Constant whining without concrete solutions for solving
problems will not win you support from reasonable people. What suggestions have
you offered other than getting rid of the current leadership of the city,
township, and school system?

The extremely negative tone of your newsletter makes it difficult to sift
through the whining and find any solutions. Just eliminating CAPITAL letters
and exclamation points would be an improvement.

Oh yeah, I really appreciate the fact that you support my right to disagree.
How patronizing can you be?

C Vail

Chris,

While I respect your right to agree or disagree with material in our Newsletters you seem to have missed the point of what we have been saying for over 3 years. That being it is unhealthy for our community, schools,quality of life, etc. to continue such a skewed residential growth rate. We have stated that over and over, provided facts and information to prove this
viewpoint and offered suggestions to a more balanced growth mode. We continue to priovide facts from public documents not covered by other
communication forms that many feel valuable. What is your point regarding levy's?
