[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 155535, member: 3373"] I oppose this bill. For me it's just another case of the legislature thinking they know better than the local elected officials as well as the local taxpayer. Having been involved in a few bond issues I can assure you that the reasons this lady used to justify her introduction of this bill never was discussed in the bonds where I was involved. School boards don't sit at meetings, thinking of new ways to spend money. Bond issues are created because of a need for space or for new programs. If a bond is voted down, that doesn't mean the need disappears. Schools, or cities and other taxing districts, then usually make an effort to change the plans in some manner that allow for filling the need while making the bond issue more palatable to the voters. As I've stated on other issues, I don't like the legislature telling me they know what is better for my community than the people who live and work in my community. [/QUOTE]
