"I think enough has been spent on fancy buildings and beautification projects. Now is the time to get the streets fixed and use better planning in doing so. Why is it that whenever a street is repaved, then a few days later someone is digging it up to fix pipes or wires or whatever? This is a huge waste of the taxpayer money. Fix the wires and pipes first and then finish with the repaving. Smart idea.....huh? As for the schools projects.....enough time has been spent on planning;just get around to doing it! If the golfers want a new clubhouse, let them pay with the fees and membership. A large percentage of taxpayers do not play golf or use these facilities. I know what I say will make some people mad....but then let them be mad. Maybe if they would just stop talking and complaining about things and do them, things just might get done. STOP THE TALK AND DO THE WALK....as they say!"

As a resident of the Milton-Freewater School district, I have voted against every school bond issue to build new schools. First of all, they have gotten ahead of themselves and purchased a piece of property with an old building on it...which they included in the latest bond measure. HOW WRONG IS THAT!!! Milton-Freewater doesn't need new schools, but better teachers. I have heard many stories from students who say that the teacher just hands the book and tells the read, while they play on a computer or even a game boy! I will not be sending my children to Mac Hi....that is the last place I will send my children to school.

Walla Walla is not big enough for two high schools -- not even with College Place attached. Two high schools would mean 1000 students per school -- I know people think smaller is better, but that's not always true. A 2000-student high school runs more efficiently and thus gets more for its money than two 1000-student high schools. If you suddenly got 2 or 3 new people in your already full house, would you build another house for them? Of course not! However, it might make sense to build an addition or make other improvements as well as install other procedures to make the house you have work for all of you. That's what Walla Walla needs to do -- make improvements to the existing high school to bring it into the 21st century and help create a reasonable learning environment, and then adopt programs like smaller learning communities to make the bigger high school seem smaller.
And those who say they won't vote for schools, especially those who say it's because they are older and don't have kids in them, need to look up the definition of "community" -- I'm pretty sure it's not "I got mine, you get yours." |
