\"'Election<\/a>
\nBelow is a letter to the editor of the Morris Sun-Tribune<\/a> that appeared in the 27 July 2005 edition<\/a> (requires registration :-( ) under the title (of their choosing) of “Pool or no pool, support levy”. This was written by Sub-Evil Boy<\/a> and I while we were in Wisconsin, and then dictated over the phone to WeatherGirl<\/a>, who made some edits and took it in to the paper. Only his name and mine appeared at the bottom, but she contributed a lot and arguably should have been there as well. (We tend to not have both of us sign letters, though, so we can send in twice as many without it looking quite so aggressive :-).)<\/p>\n

\nLast Thursday 21st July 2005 the Morris Area School Board agreed to send a $385 per pupil levy to the voters<\/a> in November. On Aug. 2, we also have an opportunity to vote on a new outdoor water park. The schools are crucial infrastructure and must be supported for the health and well being of the community. The water park, while a positive amenity, is hardly a necessity. If you feel you can vote for both, do so. If not, however, we would urge you to support the students, staff and in the long run, the community by voting for the school levy.<\/p>\n

For more information on the school levy please visit http:\/\/www.morrisqualityschools.org<\/a>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The vote’s tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes!<\/p>\nNo tag for this post.\n\t
