Ed, I’m calling about Hamilton’s defeated $81 million school referendum. I’d like to thank The Trentonian for printing articles on the budget and I’m glad the seniors turned it down. Hamilton has a school budget and should live by it. If repairs have to be made, do it within that budget. We are seniors who cannot afford these taxes anymore.

Old School

I’m with you in spirit, and $81 million is way over the top, but you can’t flat-fund a school system into oblivion without having to build something at some point. Otherwise you’d still be in a one-room schoolhouse.—Ed. Note
