Get real! I don't want to help out others because I live east of the Jordan River? Seriously?!?
My issue is this, my kids sit in aging, hot, non-tech-enabled, and seismically questionable classrooms. The solution is to rebuild/refurbish them. The problem is all that money evaporates every year 'cause of cost overruns on new construction. Furthermore the Jordan Board is not inclined to "fix" then inequity anytime soon. In fact they're issueing almost $200 million in new bond funds that the East will pay 57% for, yet get ZERO out of. All while our kids sit and swelter.
Why doesn't someone from the West speak up about this type of inequity rather that complain don't get even more! For the amount of complaining coming from the SW corner of the valley you'd think they'd be happy to get rid of us for a mere sub-10% increase in their school tax bill (soon to be mitigated further by the legislature).
Evidently all the perks given to east-siders has still not been enough. You talk about complaining from the SW corner of the valley? All the wailing I hear blows in from the east.
