When in doubt, throw it out!; 10:23 AM, November 28, 2005

Financing a house is fine because just building one room is useless unless the others are in place. With roads we can indeed do them a bit at a time- that was how Hammerschidt did 540!

And anyway, you are changing the subject. The question is should THIS bond plan be approved.; 3:52 PM, November 28, 2005

They say that $100 million will be used to pay off existing bonds, but the existing bonds are zero-coupon non-callable, so that is a lie. They say they'll use 412.5 million to put in a high speech internet, but Governor Huckabee has already funded part of that project with GIF funds. What they're asking us to do is give the egg-head academic administrators a blank check and $24 million a year in general revenue to pound down a rat hole. Let's vote NO.; 5:48 PM, December 09, 2005
