Even though they made it as difficult as possible to actually VOTE in this election, I took the time & effort, (and about $15, total for 3 different "Certified Mail/Return-receipt-requested" mailings to prove that I requested the ballot, that I was eligible for the ballot, and to send in the ballot itself), to jump through all their hoops to vote by mail. I voted NO, and I voted FOR Baxter...

And if they lose, and try it again in the future, I'll vote NO again... You think sooner or later, they'll crack the code...

What does worry me, is that the proponents are the ones that hired the guy who is going to count the ballots... Uh-huh... "No, really...Trust us...He's impartial..." I think they should be counted by a county-official who does NOT live in the affected area...THEN I'll trust the vote-count...

I just got back from voting at the school, it was quite a process there as well. Good turnout.

There was a young man ahead of me in line, and that was almost exactly his comment. He was voting for it so he had some place to take his kids. :bash :bash

Let them take their kids into TOWN...

DO IT FOR THE KIDS!

Do it for the lawyers - they need 80k of our tax money.

Our children’s recreation is one of the most important investments we will make in their future – and ours. A healthy work force produces a better-paid work force and adds wealth to our communities.

Did you know that a fit citizen lowers health care costs by lowering heart disease, decrease depression, relieves stress, and reduces crime.

That’s why we have to ensure that Conifer continues to provide an excellent recreation and parks to every child in our community.

This May, vote yes on the ballot. The district means more recreation options to enhance physical and mental health for our kids, better recreation access for all, and an expansion of fitness programs. The rec and park district will fund improvements in district as well as improved facilities, safety and energy efficiency.

The district can be approved by voters with no tax increase for the homeowner.

Conifer provide a great value for the price. Our kids are growing. But we can’t afford to slow down now. If we don’t pass the district, Conifer residents will be forced to drive to other communities for rec programs or fat kids will increase.

Support our district, keep our property values strong and invest in our local economy – vote YES


The above was a rewrite from a union provided letter to parents and teachers to support the Jeffco school bonds in 2008...

Our children’s education is one of the most important investments we will make in their future – and ours. A better-educated work force produces a better-paid work force and adds wealth to our communities.

Did you know that a high school diploma increases average lifetime earnings by $200,000? A college degree increases lifetime earnings by an additional $600,000, according to a 2002 study.

That’s why we have to ensure that Jeffco Public Schools continue to provide an excellent education to every student in our community.

This November, look for 3A/3B on the ballot. The $350 million bond package and $32 million mill levy override for Jeffco Public Schools means more academic options to enhance career skills and technical training, funding for increased graduation requirements, and an expansion of math and science in high school. The bond package will fund improvements in just about every school in the district as well as improved technology, safety and energy efficiency.

The $350 million bond package (3B) can be approved by voters with no tax increase for the homeowner. As for the mill levy override, homeowners would pay just $2.92 a month for every $100,000 of their home’s market value.

Jeffco Public Schools provide a great value for the price. Our kids are learning – student performance is strong. But we can’t afford to slow down now. If we don’t pass the mill levy override, Jeffco Public Schools will be forced to cut up to 500 teachers by 2013 and class sizes will increase.

Support our public schools, keep our property values strong and invest in our local economy – vote YES on 3A/3B! Visit [url=http://www.jeffcoschoolsyes.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]http://www.jeffcoschoolsyes.com[/url].

Why should my family be expected to pay for you family's education? We homeschool our children. Why don't you take your kids down the hill to a private school?
