Jordan blew their enrollment and construction estimates in 2002 when the last bond authorization was past (or kept the truth hidden from voters) and now are asking the entire county to help fund their incompetence. Perhaps the whole state should pitch in to feed their greed.
The east-side pushed JSD to issue bonds which put them on the hook to repay nearly $100 million plus interest that will be spent entirely on the west side. This so-called equalization bill (by someone not remotely associated with the JSD split) is just a blatant attempt to wring the last possible dollar from the east-side and let JSD off the hook. Classic government bailout, and hardly the example of fiscal conservatism the Republicans such as Sen. Stephenson would have us believe it is.
