She’ll be voting no on bond

Are they out of their minds?  I’m talking about the Columbia Falls School District Bond.

They are asking $75,900,000.  What kind of marketing ploy is that?  It’s almost like going to Walmart and buying something at $9.99. 

What they really want is $76 million, but cut it by $100,000 to make it look like we’re getting a bargain.

Let me see, what has the school done to cut back on expenses to help with their over bloated budget?  Absolutely nothing.  What have they done to help with the dismal education they are putting out?  Absolutely nothing.  Have they asked how this is going to affect the senior citizens and the lower income families of our community?  No, they have not.

What about the deceptive language of a taxable value of a home of $300,000 being $150.33 for the first year.  How much is it then for the second year, third year and on?  The school board didn’t tell us how many years we will be paying for this.  They purposely left that out.

Our school board is incompetent and dishonest and everyone should vote a big “NO” on this bond.
