There have been enough articles in the Cleburne Times Review to get both sides of this thing, but some simple questions are, if we need a new high school so bad, why did they try to pitch us a $150 Million Dollar Football Stadium first?
New high schools don't bring people into town, jobs do. Growth in Cleburne is stagnant, and telling us we need a new high school and sports plex to cover up the fact that the administration hasn't been repairing the schools they've got is joke.
Cleburne ISD students routinely test in the bottom ten percent of the state. How will a new set of classrooms that smell like paint, vs the existing set of classrooms, (that Heath admitted we do not have space constraints in!) change that?
The administration has been misleading or just lied about a number of things. If you want real information about this bond scam, go see any of the gentlemen who wrote dissenting articles in the Cleburne Times Review, stating why we should vote NO! on this bond scam.
Vote NO! May 7th! If you don't, these incompetent, or criminal, elements pushing this thing will have gotten away with it, and Cleburne will be well on it's way to being a little Detroit. It isn't a far hop for a business to leave Cleburne and go to Burleson. Plus, the Cleburne Times Review stated, in that students article, that what? 2/3rds of the tax base is from business? Another good economic hit, and Cleburne would default on the bond.
It's a bad idea folks. Force them to create a small bond that repairs the schools we've got. $10 million should be more than enough, but $130 million, $150 million, it's just a joke, and it is a SCAM.
