She was welcomed by President Don Welsh, Dear Johnny In the March 28th Statesman, Statesman, our school board explains explains the current budget and takes a bit of credit for holding the increase to 6.2 percent - not too far from five percent which was the objective. They did not dwell upon the increase of the year before which was nearly 14 percent and this would seem to indicate indicate a 10 percent yearly increase increase and as the restraint programs I heard of were in the five percent and six percent percent range, we seem to be operating on a different level. Now, at a 10 percent yearly increase things nave a habit of doubling in about sevfen years. Our school board spends more than half the taxes levied (locally that is) so this means that seven years hence the school taxes will be roughly equal to your entire tax bill for this year. Isn't that something to look forward to? There is however one little bright spot. There were two votes against the budget and one trustee, Mrs. Fairey, thought there could be a better use of funds and that our board "has a top-heavy administration administration structure," I do not know exactly what Mrs. Fairey has in mind but I do know we have a big chief, Mr. Sifton, who the board considers considers to be worth about $68,000.00 yearly. (The new replacement has just been hired at about $72,000). He is supported by four slightly lesser chiefs, each of whom the board considers to be worth more than $60,000.00 yearly. I assume each of these would have an office and a secretary and even a phone and a lot more odds and ends. Then there are fringe benefits which really add up, so if I were to say these five were costing us half a million this year (and a million seven years from now) I wouldn't be too far astray. If on the other hand I am a 1 bit out on my figures throw in another administrator to make up the difference. We must have scads of them. About now I think there will be horrified shouts pertaining to something called "the quality of education," From what I have read and heard over the last 10 years or so, the quality is not considered so high. So, in 1991-2, a lot of people just won't be able to pay their taxes, We may be faced with the same situation California had a few years back, We are having a friend from San Francisco visit us in a few days and 1 shall try to find out just what is going on down there.
