School Board Chair Nancy Nilsen who herself doesn’t seem to quite understand the fiscal implications of the Red Plan has apparently blasted Gary Glass for not understanding them either. Howie Hanson’s website has a brief editorial comment and includes Nilsen’s piece:
Howie’s take in brief:
Judging from Nilsen’s e-mail response below, what she and the other board members fail to realize is the depth of the taxpayers resentment against the board’s actions. While she is correct about the bond funds only being eligible for capital improvements, she ignores the fact that the board will be bringing an excess levy for operating funds to the taxpayers for a vote this fall. Under the present circumstances, it will fail miserably.
