Out of town and lots going on

Returning from LA and catching up. Read the March 13th edition of the Gazette and read a couple of Letters to the editor. Mr. John H. Griffin wrote a fine letter and should be admired for his past accomplishments. I find it odd that Mr. Griffin did not post his position as a past Appraisal Review Board member. Guess he knew it would be seen as a possible negative. Bricks and mortar don't make a school and the issue is not about bricks and mortar. The issue is about the false facts the PISD is using to sale the bond election. Mr. Griffin has fell for the staged DVD. Make no mistake the PISD has an environment conducive to learning that is safe and sound with clean classrooms. One reason I think Mr. Griffin chose to leave out his past service as an ARB member. Also, after reviewing Mr. Griffin's records at the Central Appraisal District I see that he has a 65 exemption. Mr. Griffin is not going to be associated with reducing this debt if the bond passes. His school taxes are frozen!

It would be wise for Mr. Griffin to visit with Mr. Sneed. It appears that Mr. Griffin presented the emotion, and Mr. Sneed presented the business facts. Decisions should be based upon facts and not emotion. I am not sure who is the foolish!
