Dear Editor,
My hat goes off to Vic Feuerstein and his editorial of February 15, 2019. The details were right on about the proposed bond for the Shepherd Schools. This is the first time I have heard, in detail, what it is like to be a tax payer in Shepherd. He is spot on about the majority of people that live here, are on fixed income or low income. You work your whole life to be able to live in your own home and then the taxes eat you up! With the new taxing review going to every two years, it is blatantly obvious that the taxes are going up without the new bonds. We don’t have to give every amenity that huge school districts can afford to give. Let’s get back to educating, at a higher level I might add, and less to cosmetics. I’m all for fixing problems with common sense approach. All the children that have come though Shepherd made it without all this fan fair. Thank you, Vic.
