My God! This is what comes from using operating money to pay for the Red Plan construction Duluth wasn’t allowed to vote on?
Superintendent Keith Dixon told board members. “The result is that every year you are on the board I predict you will be reducing $3, $4, $5 million [from the budget]. That is the reality of what you are up against.â€
Dr. Dixon can keep blaming the state for his mismanagement but I don’t buy it. Has the District paid its operations budget back the $5 million it borrowed from it to pay for Red Plan construction?
Its only Governor Pawlenty’s fault to the extent that he did not fight to let Duluth voters maintain their right to vote on the Red Plan in a referendum. We’re second class citizens in a “City of the First Class.”
