Why is it that every year our taxes are always paid late? Is it because Margaret Ausburn doesn't know what she is doing? It's a shame that her department over looked a 1 million dollar revenue when she wanted to raise taxes 21%( thats including the lost homeowner tax relief,dopped by governer Perdue this year)The BOE probably wouldn't need such a loan if the people we elect would do their job right! By the way BOE have you ever seen how many students arrive by car than bus at the schools? I'm paying 65% of my taxes for education! Lets get the word out that there is transportation avialable or drop my rate!

I guess the $2,019,733.00 in federal stimulus money just isn't enough, huh?

I say we stop paying! When the county and school board goes bankrupt, they'll get the message and drop some of these salaries - aka super/multiple assistants/principal/multiple assistants etc.

Go ahead! And while you're at it, go on down to Walmart, The Tanger Outlets and places that you shop and let them know you're tired of paying their salaries too! Call Jackson EMC or whoever and tell them you're gonna "revolt". Because in essence you pay their salaries too! And you ought to see what some of them make. With the schools, you're paying to educate your child (children, grandchildren, etc). Whether they choose to learn what they are being taught is another story. Some of the people in this county act like when they make out payroll at the Board of Education, that it is coming directly out of you're account. The county does not pay all of the school employees salaries, thank you very much. It is a VERY small portion that comes from the county. The majority comes from the state. Instead of complaining all the time, just be thankful that we live in a country where we can send our kids to school.
