George Brunemann interview on Brian Thomas show discussing next steps after the defeat of the May NWLSD Levy.
- Thank you for the previous discussion about sign theft.
- Problem greatly improved after that
- We have attended the school district “facilities planning” meeting and have met with the superintendent and treasurer.
- Bottom line is the facilities in the district are in extreme disrepair.
- In last 2 years inflation is 15%
- Interest rates have doubled
- Deep – Deep – Hole!
- Encouraged the school that now is not the time to do a huge bond.
- Current bond levy failed 3 to 2 in November and 3 to 1 this month.
- Bonds are currently a $3 cost per $1 of loan
- Taxpayers cannot afford this!
- The only avenue for real progress is to go after the state funding scheme
- Property tax for schools has been declared unconstitutional twice!
- The current funding encourages horrible behavior.
- Pay for new buildings, no money for maintenance
- Voucher program gives 100% of the money to the private school but only 25% if the child goes to the public school.
- Need to get pressure on the legislature to make real progress on school funding.
