Tea Party Activists Oppose Fayetteville Bond Issue

Artists Conception of the proposed new Fayetteville High School, which would be by far the most expensive high school campus in the state. Actually, that is a picture of the Taj Mahal, but you get the idea.
*************************************************
Here are some "fun facts" about the Fayetteville School District's proposed bond issue which will be on the ballot September 15th. Local Tea Party activists provided this information because they are opposed to the new debt.

The Fayetteville School Board will be asking for a 25% mill increase of 4.9 mills, one of the largest mills ever requested. This is for a $115,825,000.00 bond to build an $83,000,000.00 High school, which is more than 2 times the amount spent on any other school. In reading the ballot
http://www.co.washington.ar.us/ElectionCommission/ElectionBallots/Fayetteville%20Zone1.pdf any "surplus revenues produced each year by debt service millage may be used by the District for other school purposes." Basically giving the District a blank check (only up to $116 million).

This will equate to a 10-12% tax increase.

The foundation of the TEA Party movement is to STOP over-reaching, over-spending and unresponsive government.

We will need volunteers to Get Out the Vote by door-to-door canvassing to phone banking to election day visibility. Donations are being accepted to help us reach more voters.
