Thank you SOOOOO much for always bringing us news!!
Thanks for all you do
When the last two Cleveland bonds didn’t pass, the two superintendents resigned thereafter because they could not see their ambitions come to fruition. Stephen McCanless: stick around, you’re doing a great job, but don’t expect us to fund the residents of the Plum Grove area. They deserve to have their own school district. Law requires the district to fund immigrant family schooling, and the only good thing about the situation is the parents are not eligible to vote, so they have no say in city council elections or bond measures like this. However, their children born on US soil will be eligible in a decade’s time and will be the deciding force in the elections. So that’s something to ponder about where we’re headed. One other reason I voted against the bond are our current property taxes. Go to the tax website and compare your 2010 appraisals to now. Now it’s double or more. I don’t have any miracle solutions, but I’d say some laws need to change. Just my two cents. On another note, party line voting seems to be strong as its ever been. Look at how similar those totals are for the state races.
I’m not an immigrant and I pay taxes I live in the new neighborhood it’s not fair to vote on the matter of racism get a life if you can’t pay your taxes move but don’t think y you our taxes will go down on simply voting against this bond we will need more schools here we are growing more every day since I been here we have more than tripled and that my friends is still going strong more than 150 miles of lands selling fast
