Justwondering,
The buzz with the crowd was the closing down of Orchard Hills. I approached Sue and Bob and asked them about it. They were quick to point out although that was a concern it wasnât their only concern. I probably will not remember everything they pointed out but here are a few. Debt - the Board has issued $27,000,000 in debt since 2004. Tax Bill - the portion of the tax bill for debt has increased drastically in the last four years also. I think they said like 150%. Youth Sports â little funding for sport groups and less involvement. Seniors - underserved. Board Meetings â Currently in the afternoon, should be evening. I am sure I have forgotten some of what we talked about. Anyway, these are the concerns I remember they talked about.
