Lakewood and the Pool. What About All The Rest?






I've posted all kinds of stuff about how the LFC, the school district, and now the campaign committee are not telling the citizen/voters an accurate, complete story about Issue 81.

They make a big deal about correcting my info about Lakewood. But don't mention that Lakewood got 31% co-funding, while CH-UH hopes to get 14%, or that Lakewood kept all 7 elementary schools open.

They make a big deal about the swimming pool not being Olympic sized. But don't mention that it's $7.84 MILLION.

But they never correct me about funding, Phase II, the elementary schools, the scare tactics, the things they haven't done to engage the community, the questionable campaign activities by the district, the $600,000 spent on consultants/contractors, the reality of the repairs backlog, and countless other things.

Or that there are lots of ways to schedule the renovations that would not be grossly disruptive to the students.

I wonder why?
