Still Vote No

Lets go back to Amy S comment about Trust and Trusting those in charge to make the right decisions. As I said before, the same clowns that were in charge of the 2002 Bond Proposal are the ones that are leading up this fight. Well Amy S. Have you ever been down to Pleasant Grove area of Dallas. That includes driving up and down South Buckner Blvd, Lake June, Bruton, Masters, etc... What they call "The Grove." Well the Grove got screwed by the last bond election in 2002. Those same people you are trusting with your tax dollars to make "wise" decisions for you. I don't even feel with this 2008 bond election that focuses mainly on "The Grove" will it help much less will they end up doing it right. Lets review: Burleson Elementary on Elam and Alcorn had 19 new classrooms added on because of the 2002 bond package and still today even after the 19 new classrooms has the need for 15 portables. Pleasant Grove Elementary on North Masters has 16 portables. Titche Elementary on St. Augustine/Bluffcreek has 10 portables. Runyon had 15 new classrooms built with the 2002 bond election and still today in 2008 has 20 portables. Samuel High School has 17 portables. Blanton had 15 classrooms added by the 2002 Bond Election and still has 16 portables in 2008. They have plenty of land next to Pleasant Oaks Park and the school has lots of vacant land. They should have torn everything down with the last bond election and built a supersized school on all of this land. Urban Park Elementary School gained 20 new classrooms with the 2002 Bond Election and still has 34, yes, thats right, 34 portables in 2008. Someting is not right with these people that Amy S is leaving her "trust" up to. Ireland has 13 portables. Hawthorne has 24 portables. Amy S and David Look probably have never heard of alot of these schools because they are so entrenched in their own little world of Kramer, Franklin and Hillcrest. This district has major problems, has incapable people running it, a board that does not know a damm thing about running a bond program to build schools and the taxpayers are being screwed. I'm looking out for every child in every corner of the district. So much needs to be done, and you can't keep spending 10 million here and there to add classrooms one year and five years later decide that did not work and lets just knock down the school and try something different. The taxpayers don't want one dime wasted, and until thought it put into this by experts and urban planners that are not working for the DISD, don't have their hands in the pockets trying to make a buck off the contracts, things won't change. So David Look, lets go get in my sports car, put down the roof and take a tour of south Dallas. All parts of this district need help, and until you realize where we are coming from, your yes vote will hurt everyone in the district. Reply |
