Leonna Heuring: Mahomes is good role model on, off the field

Speakout
(Opinion ~ 02/05/20)
Yes, I saw they were wanting to tear down the schools. Lee Hunter School was one of them and Route 6 school and the C Building was one and a few buildings the schools were wanting to tear down. I was wondering if people were able to pay their taxes now on the school tax. That is one of the highest taxes we are paying. And now they are going to raise our light bills in the back yard for rental lights. And then probably again they are going to keep raising our bills. Why do we want them to keep raising our school bills? Most of the teachers live out of town anyway. They don’t pay any of the bills. And the policemen don’t live here in town. I think if you work here in town you ought to at least pay some of the bills. The school bills and some of the electric bills and see how much they really cost.
