No wonder we need elementary school additions and a NEW HIGH SCHOOL!
ReplyDeleteSo do we get any additional monies for all the additional people?
ReplyDeleteCommunities with significant population growth should receive additional supports, dollars ans a re-evaluation or new community assessment to make sure all citizens are receiving adequate services: Schools, Parks, Libraries, Police Coverage, etc.
ReplyDeleteShould be more money for more people, esp more people paying proerty taxes.
