We sure do. It's good to see that even die-hard supporters of the Emperor see the need for good information. So, Bully-Boy...are you listening? Your supporters want good information. The parents want good information. When is it coming?
We need good information
I attended the Morrisville school board meeting on Jan.23. I'll admit it was an emotional meeting. Board President Bill Hellmann had every right to invoke the 45-minute public comment session. If my memory serves me correctly, it was the past school board that voted for this rule.
Fifteen people spoke, 12 of whom basically said the same thing: “Do not do away with the school.” One person, Diane Hughes, was the only person who gave vital information to the board and audience, whom I presume was not listening.
She suggested that we should contact our state representatives to have a bill passed to eliminate the property tax and replace it with a larger sales tax. This could eliminate our financial problem and busing the students would be a thing of the past
What we need is true, basic information, not hearsay or rumors, so we can make a good decision.

Does "good information" include getting a speaker's name right? It was Sharon, not Diane, Hughes who spoke about the tax bill. A tax bill which, if you investigate further, has problems of its own.
And does it include mentioning that although the 45 minute public comment limit may have been voted in by the "past school board", it was never enforced, in the interest of allowing everyone a chance to speak?
Nah, I guess not.....
....simple ideas come from simple minds!
Ring Ring...Oh congressman...where for art thou?
I have to wonder how many times the Hughes sisters have called.
Can I only leave a 45 minute message for the congressman?
In fact, we didn't even know about that policy until someone read it on the front of every agenda. Then we thought about using it, then we decided not to use it.
