NO!  NO!  NO!  The school bard and the downtown spend-masters need to change the way they pay for maintenance.  While I like the fine Dr.,she is bringing the same spend till we are broke approach that she pushed in the Mat-Su.

These items need to be preplanned and a maintenance fund established as soon as a new school is built.  We all know that commercial and industrial roofs need to be replaced. We all realize that systems fail, that code upgrades will be needed etc., yet there is zero planning on the part of the School District and School Board to establish a budget to cover these things. It is called a sinking fund, and they are in place to cover these very types of items.  Instead whenever something like this arises, suddenly the sky is falling and they look to hit the taxpayers in the wallet. Vote NO and send them a message to do their jobs and figure out how to live within a budget like the rest of us.

Perhaps I should ask my neighbors for money my way when I need new tires.
