Nederland’s educational system will be excellent whether this massive bond passes or fails. Whether some choose to believe it or not.

I'm sure, but not 100% positive, Bob Meeks told the board and the CAC to be as benign as possible with the cost verbage. This may be why we hear that repeated again and again.

Actually I did read it. I read it again. The interest rate is based on the district's bond rating. Unless someone can officially say, I can only presume that an interest rate has already been implied to the district. Is this how you see it? If that's the case, fair enough. So, on the other hand, if the interest rate is all ready in place, then the total bond cost should also be able to be implied. Correct?

New turf -- State Championship!

By the silence on my question, I can only presume that we really can't say it's only X amount per X amount of home value. Without knowing the interest rate, how can anyone logically say they know what the cost to the tax payer will be? I'm still open to an answer, if anyone has one!

But -- will it be more because of the bond? If so, then it won't stay low as they say.

This response was to my question of what would be the total cost of the bond, principle and interest. mat stated that there is no way to know until the bonds are sold. OK, I'll buy that. So, let's look at the other end: How can we come up with a statement that it's "only" going to cost X amount of dollars per X amount of home value if we have no way of knowing what the interest rate will be? Help me out here!

I'm curious: The pro-bonders keep saying that it will only cost X amount per X amount of home value. What happens to that X amount when/if home values rise every year through the appraisal district? When ones home value rises will the amount one has to pay concerning this bond go up also?

Is this the one that could not even beat Nancy Pelosi for the Speaker of the House? LOL!!

Again -- I'm glad somebody gets it!

At least somebody gets it. The mere fact that the pro-bonders don't want to talk about the actual overall cost is telling in itself! It worries them. The want to get off those massive numbers as quick as they can!

Road Kill:

Interesting!

No. That's why I'm asking. I figured someone would know.

Very simple question I asked last Friday. Again -- what's the total cost (Principal and Interest) of the bond? There's only two ways of looking at this: Either people do not know, or, they don't want that figure floating around there too much!

So, facts scare people? If releasing exactly how much this massive bond will cost the taxpayer when it's all said and done will scare people -- then that in it's self is enough to vote no!
