Letter: School board should support new district

Anderson Community Schools board member Jean Chaille says she’s disappointed that the previous school board didn’t address funding shortfalls sooner.

Ms. Chaille and the new majority on the school board are not powerless in this matter. They can, themselves, revisit the Madison County School Alliance’s detailed proposal to more than substantially decrease ACSC debt. She and the rest of the board need to support formation of the East Madison School Corporation.

Richland, Union and Section 36 of Lafayette townships are ready and willing to assume your debt and to take back our schools. That would put ACS and Anderson Township residents in the position of being on much sounder financial ground, probably eliminating the need for tax increases.

If instead this board prefers continuing the intransigence the previous school board and the superintendent have displayed to public, then as the saying goes, Pride Precedes A Fall. Do you want to test how far you can fall — again?  

Would it not be more sensible to work with the people in the townships who have shown they care more about serious matters of education reform and fiscal accountability than being the biggest, baddest high school in the county?

Ms. Chaille says the real question posed to voters this November is: Do they think that we are worthy of more of their tax money?

The answer will be a resounding NO. You can be assured of this.

  • Letter: Election fraud tales turn voters away

    Columnist Maureen Hayden asked, “Why did 3 million Hoosiers choose not to vote?” She gave a few reasons but I can think of another one.
    How about election fraud?

  • Letter: Elected officials should buy insurance

    I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.

  • Letter: Source of inequality is not economic

    The truth of the collapse of a living-wage economy for working-class America is a social catastrophe and, increasingly, a severe embarrassment to free-market ideology.

    On May 14 I attended the county council meeting in hopes that I could understand what is happening in the legislative branch of our Madison County government. What I saw was politics at its worst and I cannot applaud either party.

  • Letter: Columnist Brown ignores truth

    It’s hard to understand why The Herald Bulletin carries columns by Susan Stamper Brown, who has such a blatant disregard for truth in her conservative propaganda.

  • Letter: Taxpayers should thank the ‘few’

    Are those who worry about the loss of the wheel tax concerned about the roads or about their jobs? Most of them could care less about people’s needs.
