Wimberley Taxpaper Site
I'm a first time speaker before the School Board. WISH I did not have to be here, if things were running smoothly here in Wimberley. One thing we can ALL AGREE on is that this year's Football Team ran smoothly. Now, my wife and I did not have any children but support the kids by attending their fund raiser meals, buying their discount book for Senior's NIght, I'm part of that 60 and over group attending football games and I was the one responsible for the flyer that was handed out at the Championship Game in Waco with about two minutes left in the game. NOW, I did not contact the Superintendent or the Principal to see IF this would be ok. I first approached Mary Saunders at the View with the idea and a possible design, she passed it on to a couple guys at the View who did this design work as seen here. Just encase Mary did not get the go ahead from Jack Manier, I got on the phone just asking for $5 donations and within an hour or so I had $95. Fortunately, I ran into Dr. Bullock at the last football practice with the idea. He wrote out a nice check and so I went over to The Copy Center to see Cecil. He said he would donate 50 copies plus another 100 copies to go to the players and the coaches, which he delivered the Monday after the Big Win. We had 250 copies to hand out at the game and they did go fast! Tonight, I would like to bring to your attention the CONDUCT of a few of the PRO BOND SUPPORTERS that has further alienated us NO VOTERS. I really do not remember any of this CONDUCT in the last BOND election. When you hear of a person breaking a lounge chair (uninvited) at the Wimberley Libaray - this disturbs me. When a younger person gets in the face of a retired Chicago Police Officer of 30 years; and, this is why he contacted the Sheriff's Dept. and there was a Deputy present Sat. morning - this disturbs me. When people have to play a chess game (using people, cars and trucks) in trying to have people NOT notice our NO VOTE signs - this disturbs me. When our NO VOTE signs are taken down around the community - this distrubs me. BUT when a younger person goes up to the home of an elderly lady and berates her for having a NO VOTE sign in her yard and she thus becomes fearful - this crosses the line of civil decency. I certainly DO NOT KNOW of anything we did, other than having an opposing position, to deserve this kind of treatment. After all, have you all forgotten that we do still have "FREE SPEECH" in this country. Maybe, the leftist liberals, who have made their way out to our beautiful valley from Austin and other places thinking they can come in here and DEMAND more services so as to INCREASE our present taxes and possible push for additional AD VALOREM taxes to fund the Village of Wimberley, will have another issue on their platter! When the above information becomes known in this conservative community I have no doubts we will have gained plenty of more supporters. THANK YOU.++++
