Board's choice: rebate, rebuild

Erie schools Superintendent Jim Barker wants to spend millions on school renovations that would be paid for in part by cutting into homeowners' long-promised tax break from the state.

[wow]

Does that include a raise for Mr Barker. I can not believe that the only relief we get as taxes and Mr Barker and co. wants to take that away. I also can not believe that I am the first to comment on this.

Did you really think the taxpayer would ever see a dime of that money? I'm sure they were figuring out every way to get there grubby hands on every penny of that money. We will never see a reduction in school taxes. You know it's all for the students. blah, blah, blah

Well, well, well..... Who'd a thunk it? Barker wanting the taxpayer to give up their tax reduction. Say it isn't so.

The School Board rubber stamps everthing Barker wants. When are we Erie voters going to wise up and get rid of the current Board and elect individuals who will terminate Barker and hire a competent Superintendent. When you come down to it, we are at fault for allowing this Board to operate as it does.:-(
