36 What will happen to the existing building? Were there any other options considered? Our children and grandchildren will be burdened with this tax. No citizen escapes the 30 year tax burden. There is a dangerous gas line that runs through the proposed land. The response time to the new location will be increased. The school has instructed the maintenance personnel to stop doing any work on the Junior High so it will look worse. The school will retaliate against the children of those who oppose the bond.
