Our Midlothian ISD (where I'm running for school board) $80 million, 14-cent-tax-increase-if-passed bond election is set for Saturday, Feb. 7.


Aside from a citizen's group mailing postcards out telling people to vote against it (we defeated a $99.95 million bond last year too), our paper this week ran this huge front page story:

I'll try to get a picture of the front page, because you just gotta see it to believe it.

Drives the final nail into the coffin I think.

In my district, here in Missouri, we are also having tax issues with the schools all over my county. We proposed a 60cent tax levy! It's insane. But, as a student, I hope it passes. I am doing all I can to make sure people are aware of the problem. My district risks losing everything and being taken under if this levy doesn't pass. It's crazy! All the school situations are getting way out of hand. ~bigbird~
