Only about twenty people went to last night’s school board forum. That’s a bit of a rebuttal to the notion of building something so that people will come.<\/p>\n
As of now nobody has felt moved to comment on Trib’s story<\/a> about the forum or the candidates. I learned that only one candidate opposes the operational levy. Most have their doubts that any level of funding increase will pass.<\/p>\n I also learned in today’s Trib details about a levy referendum being offered by the City for Parks and Recreation<\/a> and also that fewer and fewer of us residents will be left holding the property tax burden bag as the County takes in more tax forfeit houses<\/a>. There will be something like a ten fold increase. Think regressive taxes – that put a heavier burden on the poor. Quick, go out and pass some more local levies.<\/p>\n
