<DIV>So, Donovan (and others) harangues against a new high school
because the</DIV>
<DIV>old one can be renovated to accommodate the student
population. Maybe</DIV>
<DIV>the building can, but the area around it does not have the room
to</DIV>
<DIV>accommodate the vehicles used by every other student and all the
staff.</DIV>
<DIV>Okay, so you'll say "everyone should ride the
bus". Hogwash. Remember</DIV>
<DIV>when you got your drivers license? What was the first
thing you wanted</DIV>
<DIV>to do was DRIVE, everywhere! And so do these kids
now. Not only that,</DIV>
<DIV>there is no place for activities related to P.E.
class. Okay, so they</DIV>
<DIV>get bussed out to Mountain View park, but that cuts out the time
for the</DIV>
<DIV>teachers to actually teach, let alone do whatever activity is
scheduled.</DIV>
<DIV>Now people question the value of Physical
Education. Okay, let's just</DIV>
<DIV>get rid of it and raise a bunch of slugs who we won't have to
support</DIV>
<DIV>later on in life because none of them will live past 50 due to
their</DIV>
<DIV>sedentary lifestyle that began when they were in high
school. That am</DIV>
<DIV>reel smart!</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>This will fix our social security
problem.</STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now others would complain that the new high school would promote
sprawl.</DIV>
<DIV>Maybe, maybe not. Others will bemoan the loss of
beautiful farmland.</DIV>
<DIV>Still others will complain of the large parking lot that will
probably</DIV>
<DIV>be included in the new construction. <STRONG>.....in the flood
plain?</STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree to a certain extent with Phil Roderick that we *are*
overtaxed</DIV>
<DIV>to a certain extent. I also believe that a lot of it
comes from the</DIV>
<DIV>anti-development crowd being against some big employers, thereby
causing</DIV>
<DIV>them to locate elsewhere (SEL, anyone?). I hope Mrs.
Richardson-Crouch</DIV>
<DIV>has a little more success in attracting some more employers to
increase</DIV>
<DIV>the tax base. With the layoffs, we can't count on the U
of I as an</DIV>
<DIV>employer forever, and we for dang sure can't count on them for
taxes. I</DIV>
<DIV>also hope "Team Huskey/Lund" will look at more than just Christ
Church</DIV>
<DIV>for getting stuff that belongs on the tax rolls back into the
pool.</DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Just to inform you, the process of moving a large company
into our area can be done. But it will never be done with our current
tax base. Also, large companies will make a commitment to a certain area
or zone, acquire the land and it then takes them a few years to be
completely up to speed. So, if you think you need a beautiful high
school to attract a large corporation at this time, you are mistaken.
The large corporation looks at the city spending, the county spending,
school district spending to see if the people running the area are
prudent. If not, they are not going to locate here. They don't want to
be over burden.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>If Ms. Richardson-Crouch has a large corporation willing to
invest in our area it would be very easy for all of us to get together
and come up with the dollars to build a new high school because then the
tax base WILL GO UP to cover the added expense.</STRONG></DIV>
