  1. Read it, of course :-)

    What i am wondering is, the cost overall to promote their "AGENDA"...

    Think about it, YOUR money is paying for it (promotion). My thoughts? Is there a venue to approach that can finance our side of the story?

    Get some Billboards up like the old days?

    I love the BDN for being here "still"...lol They could have cut bait and ran.. Has to be hard to turn a profit nowadays..

    The best part of the BDN really?

    The Way It Was"..

    Just look how nice the "Border Areas" used to operate?

    Citizens DID have a voice..

    Notice the date?

    1. I noticed that mention of the South Beloit vote on the school name too. But that was back when citizens were accepted as participants, rather than sources of income to be milked.

      If the school would answer questions when they were asked, we would feel like participants, but when they roll out this expensive plan with little planning and rush it to referendum without even finalizing the locations of the new schools, then we know that we're getting milked.
