You want to know the REAL reason the BOT does not want a referendum on the ballot? Because they know the residents will vote it down!!! What a bunch of morons we have on our BOT!!!

Exatly! That's why I made the comment I did. What did you think of the reason why the 'Open Space' can be put to the vote, but not Tau? I especially couldn't believe when it was said the BOT ***can*** put a referendum on the ballot IF they wanted. Other then that, they would have to be presented with 2,500 signatures. I can't wait for MHD, Howard and the others to get home to post. I only got to see part of the meeting.
I'd love to know what happened before Jennings went into her tirade! Did she actually called Blaze a racist, now? Unfreakingreal. I can't ever remember the town being more divided then it is now. |

JTA,
I do like & respect Janine Bauer a great deal. However, I do not understand why ONE person requests a referendum for a tax increase and gets one, yet multiple people (not to mention 1000 signatures on a petition) request a referendum to decide on spending money for Tau (that costs taxpayers more than twice as much as the open space referendum) and the BOT refuses.
Incredible! |

MHD-
So it was Janine? Is she the one BETS meant in another thread who plans to run with some of the soon to hopefully be voted out BOT's in the next election? Please say it isn't so... |

What I perceive to be their desire for increasing the Open Space Trust funding is a way to subsidize the lack of funds - both Operating and Capital for maintenance of portions of our infrastructure.
I do not agree with this concept. There needs to be a clear definition for what these funds can be used and a structure for public comment/input - Advisory Board with independent reporting of all activities - financial and project related. |
