Barberton district a winner
After voters rejected the Barberton schools' bond issue in November, officials asked for a little less in Tuesday's primary election and voters gave them a little more, helping to push it just over 50 percent.

HOORAY!!! I am so happy to hear the good news! Thank you voters!!! This is an exciting "new day" for the MAGIC CITY!

Magic City rocks!

Barberton did a good thing by scrapping the unnecessary items from the November issue and stayed with the things they really need. Getting rid of Norton Homes will surely help the city and the properties surrounding the area.

Only as far as the county is concerned. Try selling your house for more $$ just because your tax burden increased. |
|
Very happy this morning. Good job Barberton. This is really a boon for our city.

Don't put your wallets away just yet, Barbertucky - they will be back asking us for more soon, just as they did with the new High School several years ago.
They never tell you up front, that we have no resources available to actually staff, equip and operate these new elaborate facilities. They just assume that we will have no choice but to pass their additional operating levy, once the new schools are actually built. Remember when we had to pass an emergency operating levy, because they couldn't even afford to open the doors of the new High School several years ago ? Very under-handed tactics, if you ask me... |

It may be a great day for the school district but it's a disaster for the people of Barberton. Too bad more people didn't get out and vote against this tragedy.

Well, figure it out. They have the staff at the current facilities who will transfer over to the new - what ARE you talking about? Paranoia. This is fantastic thing for my town and I'm more than happy to kick in my additional share. I'm glad that people finally got smart and realized how this is a positive thing for us.

It is just as easy to vote against the next one. I figure this one passed, they shouldn't be asking for more any time soon. If they do, something is terribly wrong. |

How so? The owner of a 100,000 dollar house will only have to pay an additional 15 dollars a month......the cost of a pizza more or less. We get rid of the riff raff in Norton Homes. This is a benefit any way you look at it. The property values will increase. Two old schools get torn down and a new one built in place of one of the old ones, the old Santrock Elementary will have the property sold to people who want to build single family homes on the parcels and a percentage of the sale of that property will go to the schools. I like this idea since one of the properties I own is in that area and the construction of newer homes there only helps the cause in that neighborhood. I might actually SELL it this time. I normally vote against any and all tax increases but this one was worth it. |

"Everyones property value just went up - way to go!!" You don't really see this as a good thing do you??? I want my property value as close to $0 (zero) as possible. |
|
You don't have to rent or sell to anyone you don't think is fit to pay. This is why there are background and credit checks. The properties are going to be sold to anyone who wants to buy one, or all. Hell, I might even take up an offer there! |
|

There's only so many dollars available from residents and the schools just keep asking for more every year. Everyone keeps asking for more each year. We're being taxed beyond our ability to then have anything left over for us. Interest rates are down, prices are up, traditional supply and demand is gone in favor of monopolistic controls. And we got Bush. Good grief.......

You obviously don't plan to ever sell.

Well, the good news is that he'll be out of office in 321 days....I can hardly wait! Worst president ever! |

"I normally vote against any and all tax increases but this one was worth it." Then you got a tax increase, congrats on getting what you asked for I just wish you hadn't drug me down with you, you could have donated money to the schools without forcing money out of my pocket. Try and think of others next time. |

"You obviously don't plan to ever sell" Correct. I moved while in the miltary too many times, I'm here to stay. |

TRAGEDY? HIGHLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL IS ABOUT 90 YEARS OLD AND FALLING APART. THE TRAGEDY IS THAT KIDS HAVE TO LEARN IN THAT PLACE. |
