: : Did anyone happen to read the article in the paper about "mistakes" caught on the estimates for the renovation projects by Solak?
: : These are just the obvious "mistakes". Solak is not in the construction business.
: : It kind of makes one wonder what other "mistakes" were made to jack up these renovation estimates. It also makes one wonder why Hayes Large would come up with these elivated the estimates. Hayes has nothing to gain by coming up with these elevated figures...or do they?
: : Could the purpose of this have possibly been to make the prospect of building a new consolidated scool seem more feasible? Hmmm.
: : Luckily there is at least one board member who makes an attempt to assure our tax dollars are not frivolously wasted.
: : At leat there is one board member who is not trying to pull the wool over the taxpayers eyes in order to get their super-school.
: : Don't forget act 72.

: Is there perhap's any room available on the Solak is God band wagon or are you like taking up the whole thingy. Act 72 was flawed in the fact that tax increases would have to be voted on. So what would the board do when the teachers were on strike wanting for more money but the voters said no way on the referendum? This would be a conundrum.
Sell out the county for the schools, we need to educate them well when they leave here so they can get good jobs and never ever come back..
