As I said, I'm torn but would like to hear reasons it should or should not be part of any plan...<BR/><BR/>I really wonder how many people can tell me what the tax impact on their home would be for this referendum? Yes, $26M is a lot of money, but spread out over tens of thousands of taxpayers, I just don't see the impact as insurmountable. I don't even have close to a $150,000 home yet I could find it in my budget to pay the additonal taxes that would be levied on a home nearly twice the value of mine. <BR/><BR/>You cannot have it both ways, you cannot keep every school yet refuse to pay to fix them. You can't vote against every referendum and then complain the buildings have been "left to deteriorate". You can't say "live within your means" yet be outraged that the district would close schools. It is NOT within our means to maintain 23 school buildings.<BR/><BR/>Do those of you who are already saying you won't vote for the referendum even know the impact on your taxes? What exactly would you support in a plan? Or are you one of those who will support nothing?Teresa Thielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01097990067216672469noreply@blogger.com
