The Verdict
Well, as you have probably heard by now, the resolution of floating $2,000,000.00 in bonds (debt) for the Library Expansion Project failed this evening at the Robertson County Commission Meeting.
I must say that I am not happy in the outcome.
Yet, I am happy that the leaders of Robertson County are forging forward in a new direction. A direction in which debt and taxation are NOT the first and second options for funding projects.
I do not want to belabor the point that I have made in prior posts, but there is a third option here, and it must be found.
It will be found:
I was already encouraged by the discussion held immediately after the vote wherein the process of coming back to the table to find a way to make this project work is already taking form. The discussion is not over, and it should not be.
As I said to Robertson County, I look forward to these challenges. These are the same challenges that you and I face each and every week, each and every month when we take a look at our family budgets. Our first option is not to immediately mortgage our future, or look for other income, it is finding a way to make what we need work within our means….
If this project is worthwhile, and it is…then there is another way in which to make it work.
Amen brother. Debate is good. Thanks for the update and continued communication.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I am not surprised at the outcome of the vote. I probably would have voted no also. We are finally doing what we have been saying we needed to do; refrain from spending money we do not have. I do hope we will continue to search for a way to pay for this project and keep it as a top priority until it is completed.
