Voters should think twice Whoa Nellie! Who is driving this wagon? Are we jumping into the unknown? The voters of Fayetteville are being asked to approve the construction of a new high school funded with a 4.9 mill increase for property owners and the promise that all will be well. First, it was $83 million, then $113 million and now $115 million for 35 years. The plans are to build at the present site with the latest environmental innovations. Sounds wonderful, but where is this final plan? Who is to build this, and what are the final projected costs? I see a big difference between $83 and $115 million cost factors. Why the large gap? My memory of major projects in this town brings to mind major cost overruns, delayed timelines - and guess who pays for them? The taxpayers!
