who says that its a man and women?...the bible?...church and state are supposed to be seperate..thats the way the constitution was written..by voting on religion you are doing are constitution a great disservice...we are supposed to be free to do what we want not have ppl prosecuting us for what we want to do...im not gay but i know plenty that are...let them marry..whats it hurting you..seriously do you care who sleeps with who and who calls themselves married..and if so then why?...dont you have other things to worry about...when ppl tell you where you can smoke or if you can abort a baby you are up in arms and hold rallies..but 2 ppl that are in love want to marry and its the worst thing in the world..if it is a sin then its a sin that they are doing and they will pay when its their time..not you..what do you care...they can buy houses together and in some places carry insurance on each other, they can have children and adopt..but you wont let them have a piece of paper that says they are joined together by law..how stupid..let them marry 50% will divorce just like the rest of us..we need to fight for something that really matters..like taxes..food and shelter for the homeless, chlidren and older folks...war..gas...this is ridiculous..

he was left so long hanging that the cord had started to dig into his neck and he was stiffing up..how does this happen when guards are supposed to do checks frequently? I'd say someone didnt do their job...although when someone wants to end their life..seriously..it will get done no matter whos around or not..i feel bad for his children

If this levy was really only $0.63 on the $100 assessed that would be fine but the ballot states, If the proposed levy passes the estimated value would be $3.73 on the $100 of assessed valuation. So, I'm confused is it 63 cents or is it $3.73? I can't afford an increase like this and I am looking forward to a decrease so I can have money for xmas. And with gas going up already any extra in my pocket helps and any out hurts a ton. I'm voting no! Spend what you have first and then ask. I didn't have $100,000 in savings to turn around and ask the bank for a loan for my house. Think about it.

im voting no again..the school district is telling us that its the same tax that we have had for 5 years. That they even put the sunset clause back on to make us "no" voters happy and dropped the bond issue. They lie the only reason they dropped the bond is because they have upped the levy from $0.63 to $3.73 per $100 of assessed valuation, that makes it NOT THE SAME TAX..I can not afford to have my school tax raised for the next 5 years. I'm broke with necessary private bills of my own as I'm sure lots of other families are. And eveyone knows after that they will not another 5 years. I said last vote that I voted no because I wasnt going to give them that money forever, so thank you school district for adding the sunset clause but now you are trying to pull the wool over my eyes with the amount. So I am voting no again on Nov 3rd...they have closed school, laid off teachers and other workers, enrollment is down, and the under paid teachers that are still there are having to buy things for their classes with their own money when the district has $30 million in reserves. Now they want millions more?! Give the taxpayers a break, let us have a chance to provide for our families everyday instead of worry about coming up with the money to pay our taxes. We need all the extra money we can get. Steve-O I'm with you..I've sold dear to my heart things and other things I worked hard to enjoy just to put food on the table..Please Vote No on Nov. 3rd and make the school district accountable. Let them know that we will not be fooled anymore. You say its the Same Tax then make it the Same tax!

The school district is lieing when they say that this tax is the same that we are already paying. Its actually double! They want the $0.63 that they are getting and an extra $0.63 on top for a grand total of $3.72 for the next 5 years. This Is Not The Same Levy! They don't have a bond issue up for vote because they have included it in the levy. They are trying to fool us once again to get what they want. The school district should be held accoutable for the monies they already have and be forced to use it. They have $30 million already this will give them another $60 million! They close schools, fire teachers, the amount of kids going to public school is down, and the under paid teachers are forced to pay for things out of their own pockets. While the school district ups are eating out on our money and going on trips. Stop Wasting Our Money! When you run through the money you already have then ask for some more. I am Voting No Again! Join Me on Nov 3rd!

if im right didnt the other guy, the uncle, that got time for this crime say that Dallas didnt have anything do to with it..didnt he take full responsibility..i thought that was going to make Dallas's charges less??...Dallas is a great dad..he makes mistakes like everyone else but you shouldnt prosecute him because the prosecutor says hes guilty..like ive said many times before in other posts..dont just take what the police say as correct..if you dont know him and all you know of this case is whats in the paper then go to the hearings and sit through that case..then make up your own mind..what happened to innocent till proven guilty..not guilty because someone says you are..if he did do something that killed this boy then he should serve time and if he doesnt because of the lack of proper police work then everyone involved with the mistakes should be held accountable..but wait to make up your mind till you know the facts..what you read is not always correct..go figure..
