Distribution David and April Hilton-Sykes, Publisher Letters to the Editor V ote for classroom s for kids To the Editor: Morrow County voters will have a school bond levy measure on the upcoming mail ballot. The purpose is to add new classrooms, remodel existing classrooms, major repairs and maintenance projects and the ac quisition of new technology to help bring our students into the 21st century. The south end of our county is in a potentially serious job loss situation; the north end is suffer ing overcrowded and insufficient classroom space and there are major concerns in the Irrigon area, hoping to regain a local Ir rigon high school. To all of my fellow citizens of Morrow County, I ask you to look beyond the localized con cerns and recognize the following: 1. Among the first questions asked by new business and in dustry have to do with the condi tions, quality and status of our schools. 2. The bond levy measure does not eliminate a future high school in Irrigon, in fact it lays the groundwork to improve the chances for a future high school in Irrigon as the area continues to grow. 3. The needs are immediate. The planned growth in students is primarily to cover space for the students already here making their way through the preschool and lower elementary grades. To sum up, this is the best possible time to seek a new levy. Interest rates are down substan tially, Measure 5 reductions of millage rates are continuing at 2.5 mills per year, and we have just paid off the last bond issue. Please vote yes for classrooms for kids. R em em ber, homeowners pay just 11 percent of real property taxes in Morrow County. Very truly yours, (s) John A. Prag Boardman Sorry for th e ru m or To the editor: There has been a rumor started that Pettyjohn Farm and Builders are not charging to mill employees. This is not true. We apologize for any inconve nience and appreciate all and any support from our customers. Thank you.
