Writer agrees that tax may not be fairest, but will vote for kids

About: Wants list of those who dont want tax

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I agree with Mr. McKinley that the type tax proposed might not be the fairest tax. I have it up to my eyeballs with taxes just like everyone else. However at this particular time I think the options, if any, are a moot point.

I also agree with you Ed concerning the condition of the school. This school is in really bad condition not because of poor maintenance or neglect. This school like every other flat roof design with which I am familiar is a maintenance nightmare. Every time a leak is stopped it seems that two more will develop.

Also, just drive by and pull up in one of the three parking spaces by the front door and look at the concrete window sills. They are cracking and some even seem ready to fall out from under the windows. Leaks don't just present an inconvenience where one needs to move around the furniture to keep it dry. Any time water gets inside a building it precipitates small changes that heating and cooling will exacerbate and as we can see these small changes become big problems when they continue for years and decades.

Finally presenting arguments concerning fairness and taxes already received by our schools at this late stage is a little like refusing a life preserver to a drowning victim because they should have known better.

During these hard times we should make an investment in our future by voting for our children in this special election.
