Board's

smoke and mirrors won't work on voters

It is unfortunate

that [Fayette County Board of Education Chairman Debbie]

Condon is embarrassed to live in Fayette County. While I

agree with her attitude about voter apathy, I most

certainly disagree with her attitude and comments about

the people of this county not caring about the children.

Who is she to state that

those of us who oppose ever higher taxes do not care

about our children?

I wanted - even

demanded - a quality education for my child who

attended Fayette County High School and will want -

and demand - the same for my granddaughter when she

becomes school age. I am even willing to pay the

necessary taxes to ensure our children receive a quality

education.

However, I am not willing

to blindly submit to the demands of Ms. Condon and others

on the school board who believe that more money -

read, higher taxes - are the solution to every

problem!

When the school board

learns to live within a reasonable budget and can present

such a budget to the voters of this county, then I will

support their requests.

Using smoke and mirrors to

deceive the voters and using our children as emotional

pawns will simply not work any longer!

Perhaps Ms. Condon and the

rest of the school board will now get the message.
