Not so Cool Bunch of Stuff and a cool antenna!

Good Morning gang-

Jessica did fracture her ankle...hairline on the growth plate. She has a soft boot and crutches.....dumb dogs!

Yesterday we discussed the crazy wording of a "tax rebate". Today we discuss the wording: The Rockwood School Board voted unanimously to place a $74.5 million, no-tax increase bond issue on the April 8 ballot.

Let me first say that I am behind the Rockwood school district on this bond issue. Our schools are excellent and are the main reason we moved into the area. The bond also is not for a bunch of pork. A majority of it is to repair/upkeep the present system and to add security features (that's another issue altogether). I didn't see many things that were over the top.

With that said........this "no-tax increase" marketing ploy just makes me crazy. I have spoken to many people who believe that this is not costing residents any money. Those Taxes will not go up due to the bond issue. These are the same people that probably think that the sub prime loans were a good idea a few years ago!

Plain and simple....if we did not have to spend the 74 million on the schools next year....we would still have 74 million. They try to explain that the rate will not go up....ok....but I guess if we didn't spend 74 million THE RATE WOULD OF GONE DOWN.......There is no free lunch. We live in the Rockwood school district. The main function of local government should be education. They do a great job here....just don't try to perfume the pig and tell me that it does not effect the taxes.

With the super bowl right around the corner....we are trying to capitalize on all the people that wait till the last moment. We sell some really cool HDTV Antennas. It took me less then 30 minutes to set the thing up. One of them is inside a picture frame! The really cool thing is that the reception is better then cable and satellite and it's the signal is free. More on HDTV another day.
