Letter | School cost is ‘lunacy’


March 14, 2012 · 1:05 PM

If my math is correct, 56,000 voters in Issaquah are being asked to pony up $3,910 each for a school bond, yet 16,000 voters on the Island are being asked for $12,312 each for a similar but somewhat nebulous scenario. This is lunacy at best — we sent the CCMV “extravaganza” back to the drawing board, and they culled almost 30 percent of the costs out of it, and we have a great community center. They can do better with the schools. We voters must say no — just do it!
