Bill I am sure that is what the committee is counting on, the fact that the gap has closed and that once people see the cuts in action they will vote yes.  But with the Report card coming out and the poor performance by Middletown once again, this may just push some to vote no.

Packman brought to my attention tha the committee recommends keeping the renewal and new money together on the same issue.
 
Is that insane?

While I agree it's the wrong move to make, and the majority of voters in Middletown agree as well, I think the combined levy would pass in November anyway. The margin was narrow enough this time, with enough campaigning they would probably pull it off.

Not that that makes it right.

What a good idea, separate the renewal money from the additional money.
 

They were told and told by the voters. High price to pay now that we have to go through all these cuts.

A recent statement from school board president John Venturella suggests that maybe they're finally getting some sense.

Pacman,

Yup and that little miscalculation does not bode well for Dr. Price!

It was just strongarm tactics, and now the students suffer for it. The taxpayers in Middletown have once again shown their disapproval for how things are being done, but rather than admit error the BOE will just push harder in November.
