What’s the old saying, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?”
I feel like the people who put the Marysville school bond issues up for a vote again are like school-age children you have to tell over and over again to do something before they get it right.
How many times does this bond need to go down to defeat before they realize it needs to be changed? I know it was close last time, but close isn’t good enough. My son is only in kindergarten, but I am a parent who wants to see improvements in the school facilities before he gets to high school. In order for this to happen I understand bonds need to be passed. But why a $171 million one?
Why not pass a smaller bond first and prioritize the upgrades? It seems like everyone is talking about a new high school. Why not a bond specifically for that? In a year or two another one can be passed for the elementary schools. Let’s prioritize and get these things fixed rather than try to kill 10 birds with one stone.
Let’s be realistic. We all need things for our home. It’s not in our budget to just go out and buy all new appliances, countertops and fencing all at once. We have to decide what we need the most. Our budget just can’t take it all at once.
