The school board was elected by the taxpayers to look out for their interests — not to \yes everything and touild monuments for future reference.

If you squeal loud enough, they will take their 'hands out of Sfour pocket, but remember, they are always waiting for the chance to put them back in (like the professional politician). We don't want our tax money wasted; we want a dollar's worth for every dollar spent. I wonder — have we been getting this ? sitereis-ifdodfof thought.
