Just like the spring thaw we all look forward to, the board is preparing to offer another tax and spend bond. This one proposes we buy two buses and install security, all for “... only $400,00 and interest over eight years.” Sure, the board could buy salt-free, used buses from Ohio for about $20,000 each, but they like the pretty, shiny, brand new ones.
