News: School Levy - Yes or No
I'm sitting down about two weeks before election day for the school levy and thought I would write out the reasons I see for and against the levy.
At first glance it would seem that there couldn't be anyone more likely to vote for the levy than me. I have four kids in Huber Heights City schools and another about to enter. I have the resources to send them to private school but I keep…
School Levy
Many people are barely keeping their houses as it is. In the last couple of years more than 3 houses in our immediate neighborhood have been foreclosed on.
Pushing more debt on these people means more foreclosures. I think every part of Huber Heights is effected by people losing their jobs and then losing their houses and everything else they ever worked for.
If someone finds a better way to support the schools it will be copied by everyone.
The other reason to turn it down is they are cheating when they plan to put it back up for vote in November if it fails. That really leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
I suggest that the school board and the city hold meetings at the Library telling us why more tax money is a good idea.
Yes people voted for the library levy. The library worked very hard to bring public opinion their way. Didn't see anywhere near the same effort made by the school and city officials.
But we do see am attempt every time there is an election to pass some kind of increase. That really doesn't sit well with the public.
