On Tuesday, October 18, 2022, voting on the School District Budget will occur from the hours of 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the High School Band Room on Pancake Hollow Road. I just received my tax bill. The bill has increased by 22 percent from $2100 to $2700. I am a 79 year old widow on a fixed declining income thanks to Medicare increases greater than cost of living increases in Social Security.
I had planned to support the infrastructure upgrades, but not the athletic field spending. NOW, I WILL VOTE NO on every Proposition of the budget. A 22 percent increase is just outrageous.
