[Spam] Re: [Vision2020] Paying for two High School buildings?

[Donovan Arnold]

Phil,

I just went up to Scott at the meeting at the High School and asked him how 
many sq ft the new High School was. He said it was 135,000 sq. ft. So I then 
wrote it down.

I did not fill out any forms. Or go about it in a way where I could sue 
later. I just asked them for the for the information. They either answered, 
said they did not know, or said they would send it to me. I figure if  
questions like how are you going to pay for the operation and maintenance 
for two high school buildings if they are built is a stumper they have not 
thought about or discussed the whole thing out very well. I am not going to 
give someone $29 million if they do know basic questions or do not want to 
tell me. These questions were not asked in other counties in Idaho that 
build new facilities and now are broke and cannot afford to operate them.

Coming up with the down payment is not enough, you have to also be able to 
afford the monthly payments too.

If the school asks for $20 million to build a $40 million school where is 
the other $20 million coming from? What happens if we put $20 million in and 
cannot afford the other $20 million?

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
