I want
to keep sources accurate - someone wrote that farm dwellers vote No on
school referenda, but it wasn't me. There may be a statistical tendency
one way or the other, but I'm sure there's some of each in the city and the
country.

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.
