  Tell us how you arrived at what you think most people would reason? How many people did you survey? I would contend that this is just what you and others that don't like Dr. Wietz would reason because you are overly emotional and cannot follow the logic. 
   
  I would reason that a person that has poured their life into helping children would have reasons other than maliciousness as their motive. If he wanted to hurt kids he would stop helping them first, don't ya think?
   
  I mean, if that was his intent, to harm kids, why not just stop leasing the building to MSD for $1. 
   
  Why is it that every person you disagree with, in your eyes, has horns and a tail? Don't you think it is possible to be a good person but disagree with you on how to approach a problem?
   
   
  Best,

Ms. Emerinemix,

I don't know if there is any merit to Dr. Weitz's claim.  I believe that the foundation for any argument is "is this position valid?"   With something as complex and potentially dangerous and damaging as the illlegality of a tax-based ballot measure, I have no problem with someone questions its validity.  Dr. Weitz has wisely chosen to use the law to determine if his claim has merit.  Many will discount this as "frivolity" and cite a laundry list of reasons based on gut-wrenching emotion (oh the poor kids!  The poor teachers!  The poor administration!) and avoid considering a more insidious outcome of allowing a group to unfairly and inappropriately tax the public for whatever it is they want (be it schools, roads, parks, athletic centers).  This potentially could set a precedence by which any group could do the same thing.  If Dr. Weitz's claim has no legal merit, then why would MSD have any concern?  I for one would rather see the law surrounding this issue clearly
 delineated than to see some other, possibly more unsavory group, use the same tactics to fund their particular interest.
