Davebarry109, I will agree with you when you have factual information to back your argument. Also I am not advocating for JBF in my remarks, I am advocating for a proper plan. Your argument is based on some guy 10 years ago. I assure you this is the wrong plan. The unfortunate reality is the plan will likely be approved, move forward and the city will question “why” in 5 years from now. Taxpayers will want to know why we can’t do what’s needed in the city, why we don’t have programs we need for the children, why why why as our taxes increase. Is this the plan you are on board with? Your answer should be “i don’t know” because that’s the thing, nobody does. The plan is half baked, so yes, slow down and make sure what you (the city) are about to ask the taxpayers to do and pay for for the next 5/10/20 years is the right plan. I am not against consolidation, just against seeing secondary consolidation take 2. If you are not persuaded by me then make sure you vote yes for the $85M-$120M bond next November because if that doesn’t pass in full, the city schools will implode
