I in no way implied I felt discriminated against. I
am a farmer and I would not want to live anywhere else. As Jim stated when one
lives in the country we make sure we have what we need before coming back home
from town. I am not sure why that was even brought up because I was discussing
the school vote.
In my opinion the school district is having fewer
country voting polls open in hopes that less no votes are cast, as Phil
mentioned earlier country/farm dwellers tend to vote no on school
referedums.
Anne has now stated that the county may make these
polling places permenant changes. That is too bad because I fear too many
country people, especially the elderly, will not get out to vote.
As for the supposed sewage in Pleasant Valley I
would bet any tests come back as animal waste.
I am curious as to how the sewage and water hook up
costs are calculated. I have a cousin who lives along hwy 43 and she
has told me that the city intends to charge her $12,000.00 to hook up if she
choses to do so. Her question to me was why should she have to pay for
anything that goes past her home? She is under the impression she is paying for
however many feet of utilites will run along in front of her home plus any that
run to her home. Shouldn't the developer have to pay for whatever runs in
front/along the road to these developments? Or was she given the wrong
information? I understand paying for what runs to ones home from the
main lines.
Anyone know the answer to this?

Linda,
Help me understand, I thought you lived way out in the country
intentionally. Generally that will involve a drive to receive most
services. Perhaps you should also complain about having to drive so far
to get milk and gas and to go to school or to visit a friend. Perhaps
they should all be closer to you for your convenience. Write an
editorial complaining that you are being discriminated against because you
have to drive so far to get to the Conoco gas station. Maybe they'll
build one next to you.

I understand that the district wants to save
money by having fewer polling places but* I would like to see more places in
the country available. Sure all the 'city' voters will have easy
access to a voting place but those of us who live out here in the country
will have to drive farther than normal to vote.
