Gerald Doss made a noteworthy statement on nickel school tax

About: Amazing attitudes toward nickel tax quarter gas

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Gerald Doss sure made a note worthy statement about the nickel school tax vs. paying .25 cents PER GALLON gasoline tax. How many times have we heard statements that Adair County never has anything? It seems that for anything that we have we will have to sacrifice something for it. In the end of the year the gasoline tax will be many times more than the nickle tax added once a year for the betterment of our children's education.
