The good news is; should the bonds pass, you can protect your large investment by also voting for Hejna, Mailey and Notch! We will construct a system to account for every penny of this money, be unafraid to challenge vendors for the lowest price and highest quality possible, channel every cent into its intended purpose, and provide you, the voter/taxpayer, with a full, regular public accounting every step of the way.
OR
You too can ponder the meaning of this statement from chairman Botts at the 52:20 minute mark: "....they gave us PROFESSIONAL PLACEHOLDERS for the amount of money that we are PROBABLY going to need to remodel these old buildings. I'm confident we have enough money to do the job right and THEN SOME SO THAT WE CAN DO A FEW MORE PROJECTS."
So many contradictions............
I'm still trying to figure out how if we have "professional placeholders,"why we have enormous soft cost buffers for over runs PLUS a 6% inflation contingency built into the 'estimate.'

This school board is a dumpster fire. Bond is the the facilities commitee chair? Seriously? Can't get a real job so he is in charge of a $40,000,000 project for good old westonka? Who thought that through? Makes about as much sense as putting a guy who is personally in dire financial straits in a position to "manipulate" the process. What business does this. For that matter what organization of any type would do this? It's the old Laurel and Hardy show as usual at Westonka......
ReplyDeleteA few more projects? Just like the big boys, right piggy piggy piggy!
