It put a hole in my siding. I was not injured. Just thought everyone might want to know!

Thanks for being over-dramatic though.

I simply said they are exempt from the no parking restrictions as an enforcement vehicle. Whether that is a wise thing to do or not is up for debate. Additionally, if this were a marked squad car on the side of the road we would not be having this debate. Marked or not makes no difference.

Have you never seen a squad car sitting in the median to catch interstate speeders? Same thing whether you like it or not.

Did not read your stipulation that the 10 remaining stay with it. My suggestion is only pertinent if Texas, and OK bail as expected. In that case it is "The Alamo conference".

Hard for them to argue your logic. I agree 100% with your statement.

It is not other peoples money. It is our money. Granted it is less of your money out of a larger pool but it is still ours. The government does not make money. Everything they do gets paid for by the money they keep from you.

Also not sure about this "bluffing" thought. Have they not already acted on the issue? If so, it is a done deal unless they change their minds, which I highly doubt.

What is the district "bluffing"? They voted to follow through with this unless I missed something.

The problem the districts have is that their call is made on the best available information at the time. If they choose to ignore the forcasts and guess incorectly there will be lines of people to criticize how unsafe and irresponsible the call was. It is a no win. Wed, 9 Dec 2009 00:57:36 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2009/12/08/your-view-did-schools-cancel-classes-too-quickly-tuesday#IDComment46325103 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2009/12/08/your-view-did-schools-cancel-classes-too-quickly-tuesday#IDComment46311067 The key word in the article is that they were cancelled EARLY. This call needs to be made by about 5:00am so that the appropriate notifications can be made in a timely manner. If you go back to the early predictions this AM I am sure you will see the appropriate call was made. It is a bit unfair to run a poll hours later when everyone KNOWS what the outcome was. Safety is the first and main concern.

Do what they do. Contract your services with the same third party provider. Mr. Plugge has already said they will give you all of the money they currently get from the state for you to haul your own kids. My guess is you know that the cost would not be covered by what the state gives, yet you expect the ICCSD to do this and lose money!!
