IT’S NOT THE AMERICAN WAY

Maybe you can afford the lavish spending planned by the East Greenbush School Board, but can you say the same for your neighbors? Your children?

State law requires voters be given the opportunity to vote “NO” to borrowing money. When a school district suggests that “the State” will pay the lion’s share of the debt, they are suggesting that we can vote to have someone else pay off our loan. Doesn’t it violate the intent, if not the letter, of the law?

We all want to do what is best for our children. When you consider the legacy of debt they will have to contend with, wouldn’t it be cruel and irresponsible to add more?

Consider the National debt, (trillions) the State debt, (billions) and the East Greenbush Central School District’s current debt, (tens of millions). Consider the millions of baby boomers exiting the workforce after voting for all this borrowing.

Consider the fact that The State Education Dept is buried in more than 2000 building related bond propositions. They haven’t mentioned what the grand total amounts to, but if each of the State’s 700+ school districts borrowed as much as we want to, the total would be over a half trillion dollars.

BE CONSIDERATE…BE RESPONSIBLE
VOTE “NO” ON APRIL 11TH
