You are wrong. The overall number is not what people need to be looking at when they vote. They need to be looking at how much it is going to cost "them" the individual and what they are willing to sacrifice to benefit the children of Nederland and prepare the students of Nederland ISD for the future. People like you want to put these big numbers out there and scare people into voting no. When in all actuality, the hit to the individual is very small.

Yes, I have an answer. But, unlike you, I'm not trying to scare people with numbers. I'm simply stating what the monthly impact will be to the individuals budget. And I will reiterate, individuals with a mortgage will never even know there was an increase because property tax is build into their mortgage.

Crickets?

The cost to the taxpayer will still be less than $30 a month based on property value of $100,000. So basically less than the cost of 5 trips to Starbucks or one dinner at Chili's. Are you really that cheap?

A series (3) of 40-50 million dollar bonds, spread out over 60 years would have given Nederland a much bigger bang for their buck and they wouldn't be in this situation. But, the people of Nederland are misled by a certain loud group that thinks bonds are bad and have the attitude of "what I had was good enough for our generation, so it should be good enough for the next generation." Flawed thinking at its finest.

Some people just like to keep putting band-aides on massive wounds. That is why Nederland is in the situation they are in right now.

Any "names" associated with this one yet? I will be interested to see what surfaces here. Open 2 years in a row. When does it close? How many have applied?

Chapel Hill is also looking

Nederland students are being short changed in a number of areas, and that is what the Bond is trying to address. This Bond is all about keeping the students competitive in the 21st Century. It is about Progress and expanding on programs that the District is unable to, because of the facilities are stuck in the 1950's. You are obviously basing your opinion on test scores and what you determine as academic achievement. Progressive proponents of the Bond package are basing the need, on being able to compete in the ever changing world of education where students are prepared for the FUTURE. This is not about reading, writing and arithmetic. You are talking about an "adequate" education and the proponents are talking about being the BEST.

So Reagan, what do you "project" to be the increase in the "cost of living" in Nederland because of the Bond? Because any numbers you throw out there will only be a guess. You and nobody, including the best Economist in the world, have an absolute determination as to the impact on the individual. You say that the Bond is full of wants, that is your opinion. Based on every other thriving School District in the WORLD the Bond is full basic educational needs in the 21st Century. So you accuse the supporters of lying to the voters, when the negative propaganda you are spewing is chocked full of biased projections that are mere guesses.

Yes, which 100% of home owners with a mortgage will never see, because property taxes are built into your mortgage.

Maintenance cost will actually go down. Expenditures for upkeep will be diminished. Dude, you are losing me here......

Progress my "friend." Move forward or get left behind. Kids should not have to do without, just because a few people are not willing to increase their taxes by .02 cents per dollar of property value

I wonder if our "friend" has Air Conditioning in his truck? Does he electric door locks? Automatic windows? All of these things were "invented" since the last "new" school was built in Nederland, if I'm not mistaken.

Really, really dislike lies and manipulations.

Technology, it is a crazy concept, but you might want to embrace it. I really think it is here to stay. Progress, it really is a good thing. But, when you haven't kept up, it cost a little more than it should to catch up.

Heck of a lot more to education that pencils and paper. Did you know that they don't even have text books in most schools now?

Can't stand liars and manipulators. Just tell the TRUTH. If you don't think Nederland ISD needs everthing spelled out in this Bond Package (AND MORE) then you must not have been to ANY of their campuses in the last 50 years.

Maybe he wants his Son to be a Coordinator so he can justify giving him the Head Coaching job when the new school opens up?

Just 70? That is interesting.

Yes, the Purple and Gold bird of Prey will fly south when the night is Grey and the Orange and Black, King of the Jungle will own the Tundra.

Congratulations to both of them!!
