TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

[OldRebel2]

Well being a republican I just can't go along with you demos wanting higher taxes.

One more thought on this.  Not very republican to take money from one segment (city residents who also pay county taxes) and give it to another segment of the population (county schools and not split wih city schools).  Some republicans call this a redistribution.

Believe it or not, academic performance is part of the formula. If the tuition students don't behave and perform in the classroom, they can be replaced (unless thy're good football players, of course). There's always a new $2,200 around the corner.

My attempt at humor.  I cound name several good football players who have been dismissed (but I won't).

it did make me laugh, and no need to name names. Yall might have 3 giants in football if the new coach at WB can turn things around. And if he can raise enough money for the program to keep up in the arms race in Blount Co football.

Speaking of tax dollars and spending at schools, how many of you guys (and rw87) think there would really be any blowback (lasting past the start of football season) if the plans for the new baseball field were canceled? The system is gonna spend alot of money for 7-9 students out of each graduating class. And if we were all forced to tell the truth, 9 out of 10 people in murvil don't care anything about baseball anyway. The high school could sign an agreement to allow the players who are willing to play at a nearby school where an agreement has been signed. It might be very embarrassing not to have a team, but wouldn't everyone rather have a new clubhouse for the football team?

Friday night at 7:30 - Shields Stadium. I know when football is played and where.

I have no idea when baseball is played or where. I thought is was played at MC in the past. I expect excellence in all we do. I expect the facilities to be top notch. We need a baseball field, a new track and a new arena. We need wrestling to get back to where it once was (as a team). We need a Spirit Director for the cheer teams. And we also need a new gym at Sam Houston.

Using this logic, we should cancel basketball (didn't MHS just put in a new floor a few years ago?) and softball too (didn't MHS just open a new field?) since only 5-7 students out of each graduating class participates.  In fact, I guess everything but football should be cancelled.
