CFTS was telling voters we were in the bottom third of the county when we were in the top third.

We now have the 5th highest property taxes in the county, and that does not include the 1% income tax the school gets.

Miami tries its hardest to distance itself from Talawanda.

Talawanda had the lowest taxes before the bond issue and even after is still 7th out of 10 districts in Butler Co.

I believe those in charge of this PAC need to understand what they can and can't do before trying to get voters to rise up in revolt against what seems to the burden created by the student vote.

Davis was in the front row. I am submitting a letter to both the Oxford Press and the Hamilton Journal to show the inaccuracies in Gauthier's reporting.
