Thanks, John -- I share your outrage and I appreciate your support of the 
bond.

Donovan,

The issues surrounding the St Mary's expansion were much more involved that
a simple height variance. For me the issue that needed the most attention
was the separation and buffering of dis-similar uses within that residential
zone. One issue that I am certain played absolutely no part in anyone’s mind
was religion. I’m insulted to hear this brought up. I am sure my council
partners are also insulted. While rumors of recalls began shortly after this
decision, I am quite comfortable with what happened. I understand news plans
are under discussion and I look forward to a solution to St Mary’s expansion
that will benefit the community as a whole.

The question that each person needs to ask themselves, as they decide how to
vote on Tuesday, is which future will benefit the community more – a new
high school and remodeled elementary schools or the status quo. Those who
believe that 10 or 25 years from now things will be better off without these
improvements should vote that way. I believe that the bond should pass, I
believe that future is better for the community, and in the secret ballot
box on Tuesday that is how I will vote.



John
