Well thank you Newbie for that heartfelt invitation to come to the board meeting. Let's see, you call us sheep, gossipers and hoosiers and then ask for us to come and save your programs through protest. Okay. That being said, your message is not all bad. People should get involved. I went to the cost cut link on the web site. I didn't see some of the cuts you speak about so perhaps you could help me. Sports programs? Not at the high school where the new gym was built. Also, doesn't the gym still house physical education classes and isn't that the main purpose of the gym? After the football season we just witnessed, would it be all bad to fold our tent? Just kidding. I see something about the gifted program. My kids were in honors programs. That's different than the gifted programs isn't it? Did something change about that? Vocational programs? I missed that but I do feel vocational programs are important in a blue collar town like ours. Can you tell me where that cut is listed? I don't see the cuts adding up to what I see as the advertised deficit. For oldies like me, whatusay and operator ( you know, us sheep), would you propose we take another tax increase? I don't mind helping the schools, the city or our parks with a little more tax money but I think you have to show some cuts before you increase my taxes. Anyway Lilly, glad to have you aboard. You might want to soften the approach but at least you provided some good info about the board meeting so whatever your motive, thank you.
