“Some councilors”, which could be as few as one plus Council President Roger Reinert, don’t want to vote on Garry Krause’s motion asking the School Board to put the Red Plan up to a vote.
This is a chicken hearted attempt to hide. There have been votes in the past dealing with international issues which had nothing to do with the City – voting against the Vietnam war – that sort of thing. But the Red Plan will drain tax money from the Community and the City which has serious infrastructure problems. The state compounded this recently by limititing tax increases for municipalities to 3.9 percent. Talk about stepping on the City’s turf!
I’ve heard rumors about one of the councilors who prefer to remain unnamed. Some of them relish their reputations for talking tough. But, its not too hard to be tough on issues like the American flag and Apple pie. Not me. I’m no phony tough talker. I prefer cherry pie and I don’t care who knows it.
