West Chester Area School Board: The FACTS

I am happy to say that four solid fiscally conservatives were elected on November 3d. They will focus on the budget and spending. They will join Terri Clark and will be in majority to address some of the issues outlined below.
As Sgt. Joe Friday said, “Just the facts, Ma’am”
In the race for West Chester Area School Board, take a look at the FACTS. Board member Susan Carty:
- Raised property taxes in Chester County almost 13% in 2 years, over 18% in Delaware County, during the worst recession in decades
- Voted for a massive 9.2% raise to teachers over 2 years – at a time when people are being laid off and nearby districts froze teachers’ salaries
- Helped create a $6.9 million budget shortfall
- Voted for $414,000 field house bathrooms at Henderson
- Voted for a $108 million renovation plan, with money we don’t have
- Campaigns with name-calling and personal attacks – the last defense of someone with no excuses and no ideas
This isn’t leadership – it’s business as usual, government style.
Vote for fiscal responsibility, transparency, integrity, and educational excellence.
