       FAIRPORT SCHOOL BUS DEPOT

       [center][size=24pt]It cost $11,200,000![/center]
       Here is another project that appears to be voted on in the usual
       manner. Badly advertised and few actual voters.  Does anyone
       have the count numbers, or do we have another pet project
       foisted on an already over burdened, over taxed resident
       population?
       As we struggle through the Corona Virus problems, we have to
       actually look at resetting our priorities.
       Do we need our children in close proximity any more? Schools are
       a breeding ground for germs. Colds and flu and worse are spread
       through our communities from children.  Is home schooling going
       to become the future? Do we need all these buses? Do we need all
       these buildings?
       How many people will lose their homes to foreclosure?  How many
       residents will lose their businesses and jobs? Already many are
       forced out of work. Who knows for how long, some say several
       months.
       23% of our students are receiving free lunches, are considered
       living below the poverty line, yet they have to see this
       extravagance. Their parents could be single parent, and working
       in lower paid jobs, living on tips etc. Yet, they are taxed to
       death because of Fairport Schools.
       Our biggest expense on our tax bill is for the schools, and
       unfortunately, it looks like they have a free reign into our
       pockets thanks to a lack of voters, and a lack of advertising
       their intentions.
       The new bus depot is well on its way to being another drain on
       our wallets. Have you seen the lights on there, blazing away all
       night. Why? Switch them off please. It sets a bad example to our
       kids, and is not environmentally friendly.
