If,by chance, you haven’t read the research of NR Objectivist or evaluation by Warren Gross, you ‘ve missed the most compelling reasons why you should vote no on the budget. These 2 people have done more to expose the truth behind the numbers than any board member in recent history. This is all possible because Bob Cox has provided a fair and open market for the exchange of ideas. Thank you to all of you. Now, more than ever, there is a chance to create change for the better, and it starts with each and every one of us. To paraphrase President Obama – change doesn’t come FROM the school board. Change comes TO the school board. What do we see from the board that is any different than the last decade? Does Ms Polow represent the fresh air that’s needed to remove the stench of business as usual? Higher taxes, throwing more money at the issue with no return for the expense? Dragging along a party hack who will forever be beholding to those who put him in place. Mr Hastie started out with good intentions, but alas, he was swallowed up by his lack of savy as to how things work with this board. He will NEVER be allowed a free thought, unless it’s handed to him. So where does that leave us? I know how I’ll vote, but for those who aren’t yet sure, or need more time,consider this. If you vote yes, the damage will be done with no going back. If you vote no, you will more than likely be voting again in a few weeks when the budget is brought up again, before going to a state contingency. So you WILL get a chance to think about it and if you choose to change your mind you’ll get a chance to express that. For those who have yet to decide, this is the best possible scenario. Read the facts as presented here on this site, then compare that with what the board has put forth. There is no comparison in fact or figure. The board has not been able to counter any item you have read here. They haven’t been able to fill a single sheet of paper with bullet points supporting their pathetic attempt at managing a budget. Do you think this is fair to the taxpayer? Do you think this is responsible government? We are talking about a LOT of money, our money. The haves will always have, it’s the rest of us I’m worried about.
GET OUT AND VOTE, BRING A FRIEND
