Get the facts on the Auburn capital project

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 12:52 AM EST

After reading the comments from a former resident in Monday's The Citizen, I invite members of our community to attend the public forum on the capital project at West Middle School this Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m. There will be another, at East Middle School, on the 19th.
Contrary to the sentiment in that gas-filled letter, the school board has applied extraordinary due diligence to this effort. It represents long-term investments in critical infrastructure. It creates jobs.

And, because it will benefit from public funding and historically low interest rates, the cost to us taxpayers will be minimal. Please attend the forums. Ask questions. Get the facts.

" Umm.... David,
In today's society with the recession, increased healthcare prices, increased cost of living, higher taxes, outragious gas prices, and anything else I may have missed, how can YOU or ANYONE call ANYTHING M-I-N-I-M-A-L???
Stop sounding like such a politician! We all know what "public funding" means and here you are, throwing it out there like we're "down here" and you're at the top of your little imaginary ladder. "Go to the public forums" you say... Ha, sure, to hear why a select few things this bogus is a good idea.
Answer me this, Mr. School Board Member.... Why is it, after a tremendous first season a year ago, is the Auburn School District NOT sponsoring the bowling team?
Sure, I'll go to the public forums and you, Mr. Pabis, and everyone else will see their one time suporter ask questions that they cannot answer!!!! "

" Why is it they always say that the cost to the tax payer is minimal? You make it sound like it is free money. But even federal money comes from my taxes so it is never free. If money was stopped being spent at all level then all taxes would go down. So stop telling me its free money as somehow it came out of my paycheck or was set aside when I made a purchase on something. "

" I wonder if you will be discussing the accepted bid of $51,000 to point the bricks, replace the door and put a new roof on a 8X19 building? The Auburn Scool District Superintendent and his Board of Education, should be prosecuted for accepting such a bid. $51,000 for repairing a 8x10 building? Who are they kidding? There you have it, your tax dollars at work "
