This is probably the first example of a long line of "cost overruns".<BR/><BR/>Third, Suprise, suprise! They propose buying extra acerage for which the state won't reimburse. <BR/><BR/>Fourth, they are proposing to put every child on a school bussoon for the state only pays a fraction of the transportation cost.<BR/><BR/>Everyone is losing their jobs, the economy is going into the tank for years to come. <BR/>But the BOE just keeps running up the price tag to run their operations.<BR/><BR/>Just another reason to vote NO.<BR/><BR/>What are they going to do with all those abandoned public schools in the heart of the city? <BR/>More costs, with more heartaches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-91583289175931373162008-11-07T10:20:00.000-05:002008-11-07T10:20:00.000-05:00The archetect is not as important as the ' geniuse...The archetect is not as important as the ' geniuses ' telling them what they want .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-31038757511514561682008-11-07T09:15:00.000-05:002008-11-07T09:15:00.000-05:00John,I don't know if it's posted.
