Broken Arrow does NOT have the highest tax rates in the state. The AFP specializes in publishing misleading information and propaganda pieces that are simply not true.
At best they are waging a misinformation campaign with the goal of confusing voters and effecting the outcome of this critical school bond election.

The agency posting that the BA is the highest tax is probably true.
However, All bond issue in the past have contained numerous things regarding atheltics. The School board should ask the question is why did the not use funds for Stadiums etc. to rebuild the modular school building.
I have lived in Tulsa, Claremore, and BA school districts and voters seem to vote in athletics and turn down school improvements.
I am tired of this from the State Level (Stoops at 4.3 million)and BA building stadiums. It is not all the voters fault since the contents of a bond issue is not their choice. Only the beacrauts that propose them.
Even if the bond issue is needed the unemployment factor of 7.5% is reason enough to deny this bond issue.
I am tired of hearing that is not a tax increase. It is because a no vote will cause a tax decrease. The unemployed certainly will appreciate the decrease even it is not an increase. If you see my point.
I will support any school bond that does not spend funds on athelics. This does not generate Scientist, etc..
