I think it's more than principle. If the entire city started taking a more frugal stance on every dollar spent they could save enough to make a real difference.
It seems the best approach is to try and void out the 1995(?) rule change where the county choose to stop maintaining the subdivision roads. It's already been ruled that the county is responsible to maintain them and can't charge extra for it. Then they will be forced to fix them for small $ soon or mega $$$ later.
Here's a way to solve the problem. Force the entire school board to move the offices to the worst part of Casey Middle School until the problem is solved. I think it will get fixed in 1 day then.
A mobile home is NOT an investment for the future. Unlike a brick and mortar house/condo, they depreciate over time just like a car and eventually become worthless. Leaving the owner with the cost of removing them from someone else's property. Mobile home park owners know this and most have set age limits, in the lot lease, on selling them "in-place" to keep up the value of their property. Sad but true.
In my opinion, the should teach both classes. The class in home economic should be required to graduate, while the business class should be an elective. Lets face it, it's more important to know how to balance a checkbook, create and live by a budget, budgeting time, knowing what different types of life insurance are for, how to choose a doctor, dentist, handyman/women, how to apply for loans, fill out a basic 1040 tax return, etc. are far more important than knowing the business laws and customs in China for 90% of people.
Most people that live outside the city limits (unincorporated Boulder County) want it that way (I live in one such subdivision - not affected by the muni proposal). If not they (we) would have asked to be annexed in long ago. Its nice not paying extra taxes for wasted services you don't use and laws you don't want.
There is another option. Boulder can create their vaunted muni system and exclude those portions served by the sub-stations in question. I think Boulder will lose any legal battle to take them over anyway since the people outside city limits in the areas in question have not been allowed to vote on it.
Why do they think they deserve to be given special treatment? Everyone is supposed to be treated equally.
Don't forget to thank Obama and his band of liars. It's just too bad that the American sheeple have to get screwed over before the realize the truth
The cities get money from the county, part of it is for streets.
