[Spam] RE: [Vision2020] Vote YES on School Levy :-)

Oh dear. I hope that you are not a teacher. You have zero common sense let
alone any reasoning or listening capabilities.

Once again Mr. J I have only been notified of this levy for about 5 days now
 This is the third time I have told you. I had no idea what was going on
till people told me and I had to look further. When I looked further, I have
yet more questions that do not seem to get answered.

I hope you listen right now as Donovan and I are not in cahoots or whatever
you think, as we are the only ones voicing the truth.  We have no agenda
other than to get the truth out and do what we feel is the best for the
students and our tax paying dollars. I have done my research. That is after
I ask the question of where to look.  I have been frantically going over the
minutes of the school minutes which is extremely time consuming. But you
guys keep telling me my answers are there. Still looking.

I want you to listen right now again as I am the voice of many people. I
find it sad that these people will not talk on Vision 20/20 as they are
afraid for their jobs, their position in society, there church friends, etc.
if  the public knew they were against the school board let alone this levy.
They chose me to speak for them and ask the questions that I do because they
know I do not care what people like you think. Because you are one person
that does not think. You have proved this over and over with your statements
about me. If you don't like me, please take it off list. This is a place for
public information and knowledge about Moscow and it's community. Not for
irrational, childish behavior such as you have professed.

Did you get my email OFF LIST? Still waiting for your answer, OFF LIST or if
it makes ya happy, post here. I don't care. 

Now, go to your corner.

Phil

Well said Ms. Lund.

The only real question I have for the TWO gents raising all this fuss is,
where is this bit about the Junior High Electrical coming from?  Seems as if
this levy continues to be the topic of the day some other smoke screens will
be presented.

Again, WHY HAVEN't YOU, Mr. Arnold and Mr. Phil, GONE TO THE SCHOOLS AND
TALKED TO THE TEACHERS/STUDENTS/ADMIN/BOARD/FACILITIES COMMITTEE?  WHERE
WERE YOU THESE PAST TWO or so YEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A REAL TOPIC?
