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.
