Thanks to all who voted.
If the readers of this blog have a chance to listen to the citizens comments from last night's commission meeting (they are at the beginning of the podcast), please listen to Bill Lewis' excellent analysis of the YSA's tax forms. Thanks, Bill. I wish you had more time to speak.

Mr. Lewis made an excellent presentation concerning the YSA at the Commission's meeting on the 29th. But when he was through all he received in response was a "thank you." Of course, it's hard to refute the truth - so maybe "thank you" was appropriate after all.
ReplyDeleteIt is no wonder that the school district is considered a responsible partner.
ReplyDeleteEvery month Jan Klein presents a budget report to the board. Not once in all these years fo I remember her mentioning that the YSA was delinquent in their payments according to the Joint Maintenance Agreement
Doesn't anyone find that disturbing?
Well I guess like the hiring of parking authority employees in the municipal offices... It's close enough for government work as they say!

Two packed under age drinking parties busted in two weeks. Last night on Cochran and one on Sleepy Hollow a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Lebo doesn't need lighted and turfed ball fields for it's HS athletes, but rather a proper rathskeller so parents don't bear the burden alone of the hefty fines and liabilities should someone eventually get hurt!

We might want to rethink the zoning agreement on signs in our parks and fields.
ReplyDeleteFrom an article in USAToday:
"Consumer advocates say marketers want to get in front of kids to build customers for life. Kids are especially vulnerable to persuasive advertising while they are still learning how to think critically, says Elizabeth Ben-Ishai, a spokeswoman for the Washington, D.C.-based consumer-advocacy organization Public Citizen's Commercial Alert."
Are signs on our fields really in the best interest of our kids, or is it in the interest of companies?

An interesting study on advertising on school grounds that our school board president or superintendent will not want you to read.
