The fat lady has sung
Editor:
We won again. It should be three strikes and you’re out. Don’t believe it. That’s not the way this gang plays.
I’m told they have spent over $60,000 on the past three elections. They tried everything to get votes. They raided nursing homes. They brow beat and harassed practically every business and professional person in town into publicly supporting them.
A lot of you voters who opposed this bond issue didn’t get off your donkeys and go vote because you thought the past 700-vote cushion would hold up.
Listen up now. I’m going to make you mad as hell. The pure arrogance of Susie Riegle and this school board is unbelievable.
I’m told that on July 27, 2010 before the vote on the school bond was held these people had a meeting and handed out five raises. Four for $10,000 a year and one for $17,000.
That’s right, $17,000 raise in this economy. There are families in Greenville struggling to survive on $17,000 a year.
I was also told the head of the teachers union was in attendance. What would be your guess the message was he carried back to the teachers who also want a raise. Can you fathom the stupidity of this action at this time?
To be fair I understand that Bill Funderburg wasn’t at this meeting and didn’t vote. I’m told he tried to get the school board to rescind the raises and they refused. However he did support the new school.
I understand the Greenville school system has seven assistant Superintendents and Principals. Why? If a superintendent or Principal can’t handle their job they should be replaced by someone that can.
School teachers are required to work 890 hours a year. Check out the salaries of these people. Now figure out how much they make per hour. Mad yet? Good. Stay mad until the next election that will be coming.
Next time get off your donkeys and vote.
Taxpayers think about this. This gang of spend thrifts want us to spend one third of our lives paying for something the majority of us don’t want.
The first thing we need to do is get rid of the entire school board. Next we need to fire Susie Riegle. In today’s job market I guarantee you we can find someone qualified to do her job for $75,000 a year. Why should we pay her exorbitant salary while she tries to destroy us financially.
Take notice school board and Madame superintendent.
Repair our schools. Make them safe for the children. Then get off our overtaxed backs or prepare for a dog fight like you have not faced before. You people have had a free pass up till now. No more.
We will organize. We won’t spend as much money as you do but we will spend it smarter. We will teach you how to really play hardball.
Here is a free example.
Most of the business and professional people publicly supported you the last time. These people should consider that there are more of us than there are of you. We would be fools to put money into the pockets of people that are helping to take money out of our pockets. We can vote with our pocket book and our feet.
Sometimes you have to take a town apart before you can fix it.
Get the message?
The fact is we cannot afford this colossal debt they want to pile on us. We need to use any means at our disposal to defeat them.
Stayed tuned…
