Fact. Nichols School has stood at the current location since 1869. The facility and grounds have been used by the community for education for 142 years. The current building was constructed in 1935.
Fact. In October at the annual meeting of the Monona Grove School district approximately 40 citizens voted to allow the school board sell Nichols Schools.
Fact. This means that .01% gave your rights away to the school board with little or no knowledge or information about the type of deal the district will get from the 1% for the property. These 40 citizens were in large part politicians and administrators from Monona and the Monona Grove School Board.
Once again, wealth will be transferred from the 99% to the 1% - all in the name of progress and additional property taxes. This leaderless movement is asking why not a senior center, a recreation center and youth center? We want the building and grounds to be utilized for something that furthers US and not THEM.
Does this community NEED another drugstore, department store or condominium complex that is all financed with bonds from another TID? Who pays for failed TID? The 99% who assume the risk - while the 1% assume the profits. What will the 99% receive from the selling of Nichols? A large candy bar at Halloween for our children? We want more and ask our leaders to STOP the transfer of wealth.
Occupy Nichols will occur on 11/18/2011 at noon!

ReplyDeletei don't care if this is real or not. i'm for this. selling nichols is totally bullshit. the school board and the city are gonna turn around and sell nichols for a pittance now that it's been approved. there's a backdoor deal that's been done already. just you wait and see. and what will we get? shit.
ReplyDeleteWell how come you all didn't show up at the school board meeting and vote. 40 citizens took the time to do just that.
ReplyDeletethis was not a secret agenda item. It has been discussed for quite a while. You had more than apmple opportunity to voice your opinion and opposition.
Did you talk to anyone on the school board? did you write a letter? Did you read any of the documents? Have you ever even attended a school board meeting?
