Deciding that supporting schools was important in Palm Beach County in order for them to fix aging facilities and upgrade technology, the county's final vote was to lump all infrastructure into the one penny sales tax referendum to be voted on November 8, 2016. We were hoping that the School Board would not collaborate and have a separate referendum. We also agree that Karen Brill voted correctly for a separate referendum.
Our latest postcard is to the Superintendent of Schools telling him that if we find out (and I am sure the county will keep this under lock and key) that any part of this sales tax will go to support the Atlanta Braves at John Prince Park, then we will be voting against the sales tax increase.
Right now, all sorts of upgrades are occurring at John Prince Park such as electrical, clearing of trees and the 6th Avenue Bridge that would take people from I-95 to our county park. The county is denying that these upgrades have anything to do with the Atlanta Braves.
Let me know if you want a postcard.
These postcards are a terrific idea. THANKS!! Can we pass them out in John Prince Park?? They're closing in fast in laying their groundwork for the Braves takeover: Electric upgrade in the campground that an employee states is for the Braves, upgrading the 6 Ave Bridge, and now opening up Lantana Airport to jets. All disgustingly far out to the sunshine.
