We are in a deficit with seats in our public school system. The bond coming in November of this year is actually a year ahead of schedule.

One of the things we need to do as the Board of Commissioners is to work with the school board to develop trust, so the public trusts these two groups to be responsible with whatever amount of money is provided.

We understand why he would say that -- because of public frustration. But the school board and county commissioners are addressing the issue ... to spend public money the best possible way. The November bond is the answer.
