Cleburne ISD 2016 School Bond Scam... It's tough to find time to deal with local school bond voting
It is unfortunate that it takes a lot of work in Cleburne just to get by. While a lot of places think of the work week as being 40 hours, or 30 if you live in France :) the reality in Cleburne is that a lot of people work 6 days a week, 8 to 10 hours a day. That makes it tough to deal with local issues like school bonds. However, just like the last school bond scam for $150 Million Dollars, this NEW bond scam for $130 Million Dollars must be voted down, or every property owner in Cleburne with be paying for the results for the next 25 years.
Remember, anyone associated with the school has a reason to vote FOR this thing, and even if they don't agree with it, they are being prodded by the school administration to vote for it, regardless. We have to come up with enough votes to overcome those numbers, and THAT MEANS YOU.
May 7th is the main voting day, but there should be early voting, just like last time. Now, you have to watch out for a few tricks the scammers, ah, administrators pull when the voting occurs. One thing they like to do is change the voting venues by rotating the place you go any given day between different schools in the Cleburne ISD.
That makes it really easy for all the teachers to go vote for this thing, because they effectively just have to walk down the hall. However, for the rest of us, we have to leave work, find out where they have 'stashed' the voting booths that day, go there, and vote. It's more of a hassle, and it's designed to limit the number of people who might vote who aren't involved with the school.
You have to overcome that! Early voting is handy as well.
Also, help get the word out! Send links to these posts to your neighbors, friends, and customers. Copy and paste the cartoons above and email those. Speak up and tell people and the administration what you think about all this. Responsible spending isn't a problem. Irresponsible spending on a school that won't be needed for a decade is. Oh yeah, and don't forget to push for an audit of the Wheat Middle School Concession Stand, so we can find out how that thing cost $277,000 dollars!
