School levy election is coming up, and Gregg has some thoughts (and info from Cyndi Baker) that you should check out before deciding which way to vote. There’s also a pro-levy site at Kids’ Education Yes!
My overall reaction to the levy issue: I suspect that it would be far easier for the school district to find $1M to cut from expenses than they are willing to admit.
ALSO: the big dust-up in the PSC on Friday is addressed by Travis Kavulla himself in a guest piece over at ECW. There’s a good overview of the situation at the Lowdown by John Adams, including this tidbit: “In an interview after the commission meeting, a visibly irritated Molnar called Kavulla a ‘sociopath’ who gladly accepted Molnar’s help during the election season and then stabbed him in the back.”
Curious who is paying for all the “Vote Yes” propaganda signs in town. Agree with you. It would be far easier for the school lobby in town to cut 1 million dollars out of a 65 million dollar budget than to raise the levy.
