Wants list of those who don't want tax About: CWC List Community Working for Children grows To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Why don't you also start a list of the people who DON'T want the tax. So it doesn't look so bias. That way the election could be done on the magazine site and save the tax payers on the cost of an election. I'm all for education but this is just another unfair tax being levied on top of the ones we already pay. It's unfair because the people who don't own property or a tangable items don't have to pay it. If it was a head tax it would be fair. I still haven't seen anything that shows the actual amount the schools system takes in from all the accessed taxes and funds they receive now. Or why Casey was allowed to get in the bad shape it is now. Seems nobody wants to talk about that. s/Mitch McKinley Thanks. First, thanks for the idea that holding the election on CM would save money. The list of those against is public record at the Adair County Clerk's Office. There wasn't a list of those for the tax, earlier. Secondly, the idea you have about the maintenance is an erroneous one shared by far too many. I had wondered about that question, too, until I took a tour of the building. There's not a school in the area better cared for than Col. Wm. Casey. It's as clean and bright as Ricky Bault and his hardworking crew could possibly keep it. But no matter how many times you Simonize your Yugo, it's still a Yugo. It doesn't turn into a Mercedes. The inherent problems in the old building are so costly to change, it's cheaper to build a new school. And far less expensive on Adair County taxpayers. I hope you'll read "Spend a Nickel, Save a Dime," by Ralph Waggener, in It's Just for a Smile News. That editorial explains the dilemma as well as any I've seen. As for actual amount of money taken in from all the assessed taxes, that's public record, and readily available from the school board. Regardless of how the tax issue is stated, as I see it, the election comes down to being for or against the children, being for or against education, being for or against progresss in Adair Co. -EW This story was posted on 2009-12-06 13:20:45
