I got a testy reply to one of my posts.<\/p>\n
“How much did you spend eating at restaurants last year or entertainment? 9-11 bucks a month is a small price to pay for educating our kids. The only reason your cause exists is because Central is being closed. When is the last time you visited a school besides Central?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I replied in kind.<\/p>\n

I want you to reconcile something for me. You say the costs for a household will be at most $11 a month. Times 12 months, times 20 years that is $2,640 for one household over twenty years. No. not much, especially if you divide that by the people in a household. That is a figure I’m not certain of but let’s say for argument’s sake that its two or three people. That means the tax would be one half of or one third as much. That would be $1,320 or $880. That’s really nothing.<\/p>\n
But the cost of the Red Plan over twenty years is $437 million.<\/p>\n
So Divide that by the number by the number of people in the School District, 94,000 people. Each person in Duluth will have to pay an average of $4,648.93 for the Red Plan not $1,320 or $880. I’ve taken the trouble to try and figure out this discrepency. You have taken on faith the School District’s and Johnson Control’s claims. One of us is too trusting.<\/p>\n
Oh, and why shouldn’t I quibble about having my vote stolen? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
