Today, September 8, 2014, I was listening to KGVO's Talk Back program, ("Western Montana's only live interactive talk show"- the hosts words). The co-hosts for this program are long-time radio announcer Peter Christian and Jon King, the producer of the show.
Jon and Peter were discussing the costs of the city's eminent domain lawsuit. The mayor of the city decided several month's ago to attempt to gain ownership of Missoula's water system by using eminent domain. The city estimated the cost of this process to be about $500,000. It is now estimated to be higher than that a cost of about $1,000,000!
So - Peter spoke about his conversation with Hatton Littman regarding the increase in leveling (sending children from their neighborhood school to another school which is not so crowded.)
Peter also mentioned that Littman said that the BOND PLANNED TO GO BEFORE THE VOTERS NEXT FALL WILL BE BIGGER THAN FIRST THOUGHT!!
Oh, to hold those people accountable that closed our schools in 2004, sold a school (to a private school) in 2005, and leased schools (to a private school and a college). What a lot of money they would need to pay us taxpayers for their needless and expensive actions.
These school officials DID NOT HEED DR. LARRY SWANSON'S ADVISE IN 2004-2005 REGARDING THE UPCOMING INCREASE IN SCHOOL ENROLLMENT DUE TO THE BABY BOOMERS GRANDCHILDREN ENTERING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.
