Aw Heck, Let's Just Talk About The 2013 School Bond Levy Right Here

The CH-UH Board Of Education and the Lay Facilities Committee's alleged efforts to engage the community leave me quite underwhelmed.

I've watched some meetings on video, I've attended a couple of meetings, and I've done my best to otherwise learn about the proposed levy.

Now, all I need is someone to talk to about this.

I'll start the conversation...

Did you know there's most likely two levies, in back-to-back years?

According to the January 9th LFC meeting, which is on video at the BOE's website, you can expect a Capitol Bond Levy in 2013, followed immediately by an Operating Funds Levy in 2014.

And it's pretty well understood that the 6 mils they will ask for on the Capital Bond Levy isn't nearly enough for the whole decade-long facilities initiative. They really need at least 10 mils to do it all.

Start watching (listening) around the 11:30-ish and 37 minute marks, each for about 5 minutes. It's worth your time.
