I would like to thank the Hartington-Newcastle School Board and administration for being fiscally responsible with our hard-earned taxes.
I want to thank the Hartington-Newcastle School Board and administration for not getting conned into buying or paying for repairs on the second biggest money pit that the city of Hartington owns.
The mayor said that it’s rare for a city to own, operate and maintain a large sports complex, really?
I challenge Mr. Mayor to name any public school in Nebraska, that owns, operates and maintains their own private large sports complex.
Private and parochial schools, own, operate and maintain large sports complexes, because they have deep pocket supporters. These supporters, would be embarrassed to have visiting football teams play on a hard patch field.
Just over two years ago the Hartington taxpayers (not the mayor or his council) had a fiscal surplus. This surplus had to be used or our tax base would have been lowered.
I think Mr. Mayor said it was between $120,000 $140,000 a year. That money would have easily paid for the new track, plus yearly maintenance.
Mr. Mayor, where did our hard-earned tax money go to? Again, I would like to thank the Hartington-Newcastle School Board and administration for being good stewards with our hard-earned taxes. Keep up the good work.
Other local governmental entities can learn a lot from you, if they would just sit in on your School Board/Administration meetings.
