Comments for Facility improvement takes more than Measure E at http://tracypress.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://tracypress.com Wed, 15 Oct 2008 21:54:15 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://tracypress.com/content/view/14568/2244/#comment-46218 peter Yep, 20/20 hindsight is excellent. Looking into the present and the crystal ball of the future is very difficult, if not impossible, both for the School District and the City. But honestly, even I must admit your article does sort of sound like a cry for more money. But really, what else can you do? The bottom line is if the citizens want better facilities then the money has to come from somewhere. That is the tax payer because it certainly doesn't grow on trees. Then when you couple all of these problems with the current world economic conditions it's pretty easy to understand why the average person is going off in a panic, thus actually making things worse than better. But this is not the first time such things have occurred and probably won't be the last either. Hang in there and keep trying to do the best you can to make things better. It's all anyone can really do. At least you are trying, which is a whole lot more than your average complainer is doing. A thousand successful atta-boys go unnoticed, but it only takes one mistake to tear it all down and turn you into a bum. No wonder why many people don't make the same efforts you and many others do. Honestly, anyone seeking to serve the public should seriously consider mental help as no sane person would enter that arena today.

That's not fair. You have to look at everything that has happened to get us in the position we are today. - peterholtz measure e Tue, 13 May 2008 10:43:59 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/14568/2244/#comment-46118 Mother - nope this is not a cry for more money. I am just trying to keep people informed as to the progress of the re-builidng plans. State school financing is complex and there are multiple sources of funds. You have to match your needs to the sources. We expected the measure e money to riase $17 million in state funds and we have gotten closer to $40million due to using all of the resources available at the state level. - peterholtz measure e Tue, 13 May 2008 10:42:03 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/14568/2244/#comment-45883 Sounds like a cry for more money??? - Mother Mon, 12 May 2008 06:35:05 +0100
