HELL IF I CARE FORUM • Charter School Another Name for Tax Theft

The FORUMS - Fri, 01/27/2012 - 21:42
I refuse to read all the crap in the paper so can someone tell me why the Eisenhower Charter School is not just a misguided emotional attempt to keep a school open beyond any real need.

Why is this not a crime perpetrated on the tax payers who will fund this abomination just so a relative few will be able to go to a basketball game at good old Ike?

Why is Bortz, the great protector of the over taxed, willing to commit County money to this irrational project. Possibly, he should get his head out of his blue and gold a$$?

Can the taxpayers , who do not bleed blue and gold but green, sue?
