PNG Football

[coachtroy8]

I love the fact that people north of the Golden Triangle believe they are in clean air. We have mostly a southern wind flow which means all Port Neches bad air moves North.

[77]

I happen to work at one of those facilities so I do know first hand what all has been done to clean up the air and I also know what systems are in place to keep it clean!

The air at the Reservation is no worse then the air at Nederlands stadium or Memorials or WOS. Is it worse than the air at Ausitn area Hs stadiums? Sure. but to single out the Reservation within our area is bunk!

Chill out I know we all live in this funk. How dare me slander the holy reservation(even if it is cursed). But it is the only one I can think of in a tank farm. ;D

Last time I checked we the tax payers were paying for the stadium not any of the plants. I wish they would give us millions, then we could've built one as high as the rainbow bridge. That way we could show our A$$ to 77 and tell him to kiss it. ;D

What team do you support 77?  Or, are you jealous? Or, you just can't stand the fact that good things are happening for the Indians?

OK I apologize the res has the cleanest air I have ever breathed I will not disrespect it again, and the view of the tank farm is beautiful. ;D

And to think I pay 4000 a year in taxes to live by these beautiful plants   . You would think my taxes would be cheaper with the plants tax money, but we can thank robin hood for that. Actually the tax payers are paying for the stadium.

[Guest Brubaker]

The Stadium, two AD's, two Coordinators, and repeat video equipment.... hope there's some W's in there... PNG is PAYING FOR THEM.  I'll never complain about what I'm paying for with Neumann again... what a freakin bargain... he just wins.

[outanup]

Dont forget the two new middle school coaches. Hell Neuman is looking more like a Dollar Store clearance item. LOL

$4000 thats awful with all the industry. I know WOS is lower because of chemical row.

Hmmm....does Ned still have that "Car Tax"?

Last time I checked cardinal Stadium (home of the Ozen Panthers) is actually in a Tank Farm!

Actually Nederlands Athletics budget for 2008 was reported around 1.3 million. The PNG budget was reported around 700K. The recent additions to the budget still put us well below what Nederland is spending on Athletics. Which I think is one reason that the board has been so giving! Gotta spend money to make money. HS football is a business and Nederland has marketed well!

You are correct.

What are you talking about?

[PNG72]

If you lived in Nederland back in the early 70's, you were taxed on the vehicles that you owned.  I was dating my ex then and he lived in Nederland.  Didn't take him long to cross over to other side of the old hump by the skating rink.

Makes sense now, just a little before my time.

[smitty]

1.3 mill?  Sounds a bit much to me.  But I guess what are taxpayers for?!   I also understand the district's wanting more.  26 mill more from what I'm hearing.  Ouch!!

Smitty, I think your facts are about as accurate as usual.  The bond presentation I saw had less than 5% alotted for any sort of athletics.  I don't think the total bond is $400mil?  This bond is about new schools.

[BearBryant]

Why do other communities hammer on those that better themselves?  I don't live in PNG district but if they deem it important to better their facilities then good for them.  It can only make this entire area more attractive for playoffs which bring in dollars to the entire area.  I live about 30 miles away from PNG but if they make their stadium better then some of it may just trickle down to my community.  I'm never gonna bash the other man for improving what he has.  And from someone that lives in an "industry heavy" community I'm not gonna say anything about the smell.  To me it smells like money.  There is always a price to be paid for industry and jobs.  Most communities will kill for it.  Don't let em fool ya.

PNG Guys-  You got something good going. Don't let the negatives get you down.  Be proud of what ya got and where you're going.

Thanks Bear.....no need to worry.....PNG is on the comeback, the "naysayers" just need to take a seat and enjoy the ride!  ;D

If you are referring to the Nederland Bond, it is almost $121 million with less than 2% of that going towards stadium improvements...this bond is mostly about replacing old and outdated schools that the district is already spending a ton of money on for repairs and maintenance...hopefully the citizens of Nederland see the need for progress in our community and get this thing passed.

Thanks for the kind words bear.

Bru, don't get so defensive.  You must be a partaker of taxpayer funds.  Did I change gears too fast for you?  I was talking about 1.3 Mill being a bit much for athletics.  Then I said the district is asking for 26 Mill more through a bond issue.  Everyone knows it's district wide.  I was talking in terms of the district wanting more blood from the taxpayer.  I apologise.  I'll slow down next time.   Is     This     Better ? ?
