Joe Hare: We must pass the tax, but . . .

Writer is satisfied that the tax is the best option at this time, but he makes similar stand as Ralph Waggener, that the school board needs to be held accountable, be more open, and that the public needs to be more involved
About: Renovation of CWC would require ALL local funds greater taxes

By Joe Hare

I have been a little busy this week and have not read a lot regarding the Nickel Tax, so I was rereading all the post on Columbia Magazine and noticed something that I had not thought about before.

It is the statement by Mr Treece that the"committee" in 2003 and in 2007 had determined that CMC was not repairable and them the state agreed. I am wondering who was on this committee, if it was all school personel, do we have a conflict of intrest in this decision? If this committee has determined that CWC was repairable would the state have agreeded with that decision?



Even if this were to be true, it is something in the past and I feel we must go foward and pass the Nickel Tax as it will cost us less now, than in the future if it is defeated.

I am trying to look at all this matter in a business like manner rather than emotional, and it is not easy to do at all times, as the children will be the ones to suffer if the tax is defeated. Although, these questions should ansewered.

I feel that the school board and supertindent need to be more open with the public.

Are there any other projects that are planned, that the tax would eventually pay for?
