Few questions about bond

Dear Editor,

1)  Isn’t the school board that’s wants the bond money the same school board that recently “wrote off” six million dollars of missing money?

2) If there is overwhelming urgency right now to fix the school’s 60 year old  buildings, why wasn’t there this much urgency 10 years ago when the buildings  were 50 years old?  It seems that the urgency is more the fear that REAL economic bad times are ahead and maybe people really won’t have the money (even all the Los Alamos millionaires!). 

The school system is the wealthiest non-government-related entity in the county since they own more land than anyone  else.  It seems that a whole new high school could have been built by now if the  school system had wanted one.  Remember that we get a lot of money from the government for our schools? 

Why not save for the things you need?

3) Isn’t the school board going to receive revenue from the Airport Basin and  Trinity Site during the term of the bond? How much?  Does the school board get  any portion of the gross receipts tax now being paid by LANS?
