High? Cut the grass & do the trim work too. For your informations: The people who voted no, they're not all Tea Party members, so don't go giving all the credit to them. A large percentage of us aren't and we absolutely knew & understood the attempted highway robbery proposition and voted accordingly. - Justsaying Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:38:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9247-polls-gauge-community-opinion-of-lpss#comment-23900 Babineaux, in his arrogance, has declared the prop tax will come up again & we can just get ready, this prop tax just must be passed. He insuates, we the ignorant 69 %, just didn't understand the proposition..... I believe Mr. Babineaux does not understand, we knew exactly what we were voting against! - Morrow Sun, 23 Oct 2011 11:10:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9247-polls-gauge-community-opinion-of-lpss#comment-23897 Sun: a.m. property owners & homeowners demonstrate their opinion of a billion $$$ tax increase, further demonstratin their distrust of LPSB. I believe there are thousands who want to support the education of children, but cannot not afford to throw away more money. I am surprised this was not a closer vote. Maybe it IS time to replace the school board system. I hear a whole lot & have heard for years about a very top heavy "office", of "personnel" in the office working part time, getting paid full time, to further their own "education". That's not right... Waste, waste, waste and if "custodians" won't do their job, replace them! Quit robbing maintenance funds & allowing the schools to crumble. BUT, the main thing I've learned is its time for the public to demand more from the school board and that may take "butts in the seats" at school board meetings. We don't want to pay more, but maybe my a show of #s, that we also expect the school board to perform & to demand performance from employees, from the custodians & cafeteria workers, to the office personnel in ea school, not just teachers. And when the LPSB & schools demonstrate to me, the taxpayer, they are willing to do more with less, I might feel as if more financial sacrifice on my part is worthwile. And those people in "commercial construction" can take their yard signs down now. Yeah, we know who you are & that your own kid have been out of school for a loooonnng time. - Hope Sun, 23 Oct 2011 07:58:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9247-polls-gauge-community-opinion-of-lpss#comment-23779 They've mismanaged, wasted, heck, maybe even stolen so much money intended to educate children & maintained schools. Who in their right mind is going to support giving them more money to waste, throw away or give to friends & relatives? Not me that's for sure. I'll not gamble my home, my job - my employer's prop taxes will double! esp without the superintendent having been chosen. And not for the school board to give pay raises or benefits in a few yrs with the "freed up" money. I don't trust the process, period. - Hope Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:17:17 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9247-polls-gauge-community-opinion-of-lpss#comment-23766 "concerns: Resource management" -------------------- Talk about! You would think Lafayette schools are in a race to see who is worse, Lafayette or St. Landry. Over the years, look who gets elected (school board), a cocaine user, a prostitute John, and another who does not pay his taxes. - Whip it good Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:48:46 +0100
