District 100’s timetable for sales tax referendum

Here are the tentative timetables for District 100’s big push for a sales referendum.  They are taken from the April 16, 2012 board packet:  http://www.boarddocs.com/il/district100/Board.nsf/files/8TAPFB6459C8/$file/Facility%20Sales%20Tax.pdf

Interesting is the whole question of “long range facility planning”.  Little is mentioned of the most  pressing reason--  sales tax is needed because  financing costs on the new high school and other buildings are increasing at a rate that exceeds 7% per year and very soon the public may realize that.  For more on this issue go to: No Grown May mean higher property taxes, by clicking on: http://district100watchdog.blogspot.com/2008/11/no-growth-may-mean-higher-taxes.html

I am very opposed to the sales tax referendum (as allowed by current law.)  Read my letter to editor of March 30. 2012:  http://district100watchdog.blogspot.com/2012/03/vote-no-to-school-sales-tax-in-november.html
