Do not have the support of this Beaumont taxpayer.
[/quote]That's pretty much expected...  But I take it you supported the proposal to lay field turf in Silsbee, huh?  Expected as well...   ::) ::)
[/quote]


The money for the field turf in Silsbee is being raised, the way it should be. For the record I voted for the bond, and really think(thought) that BMT needed to spend money on schools and even supported the ''educational support center''. I however, don't remember a hotel/basketball arena being in the bond. Lot of projects left unfinished and if there is money left over it should be paid back against the bond principal or put into a rainy day fund. As I said before, the bond appears to have had a lot of slush money intentionally put in it for Butch and his cronies to spend as they wish. What about all of the other classroom related projects that were cut out of the original $800 mil. dollar bond proposal? I guess they really weren't important, huh? Oh well, I'm white and in your eyes probably a racist so what does my opinion matter, right?

Just because Dr. Thomas ask for it does not mean the school board has to go along with it. Talk to your board representative and if they disagree with your position on the issue then make your voice heard at the polls.

I don't currently live in Beaumont but I was born there, my parents lived and owned property there for years but honestly I didn't know I had to move back to have an opinion.If the folks that built and managed Ford Park haven't been able to make it profitable how do you you think the BISD could do it. I could understand a new gym if the ones there now were in disarray but that's not the case.Just a question here.If the gym would be for the kids who would the motel be for ???? As far as the Glen Beckits remark goes there isn't a racist bone in my body however a little common sense seems to associate some people with being racist these days .

The man BISD has already said no public funds would be used to build the "motel" and it would see if private investors would be willing to build and BISD students would use the facilities for a Hotel/ Restaurant academic program.

With the right planning, Beaumont could roll in some major athletic events with a nice looking athletic compound. Bringing in more money to the area AND giving a certain sports reporter more events to cover, thereby increasing his revenue/income and paying more taxes to Uncle Sam. Me and you could start a part-time business selling t-shirts during these events for extra income. It would help us pay our credit debt down.
