I have to agree with Allen. Making me pay twice as much for the same County high school as my County neighbors would be wrong and unfair. The Town is paying for the upgrades to Town stuff, while the SB is paying the same or less than Alton Echols would have to have paid for building on the same site. Town residents already get to pay double taxes — Our choice for living in town with public water, sewer, a PD, etc., and I don’t regret it, except when the County acts like they’re doing me a favor by “sharing” costs for their projects with the Town.

Right…the town saw a way to demand that infrastructure improvements (which it itself had repeatedly put off) be made on someone else’s dime. Right…that’s cause for “celebration.”

For your info RW I’m not afraid to use my real name. I said my town taxes not county taxes. If you live in the town limits you are lucky enough to pay both.

But, it’s OK for the county to fund the Town’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.

You’re kidding, right? You don’t think your taxes should support the school project? You think stuffing almost 800 kids into a campus designed for less than 500 is a good idea? What planet are you from?

I think some people are confused. The town was looking out for it’s citizens.I don’t think our taxes should support the school project. Don’t forget we also pay county taxes.
