Dear Editor:
It wasn't the money - $125,000 - for a new boiler, some piping and a few thousand to get rid of some asbestos for Ridgeway School upgrades. That's a lot.
Probably, more than our Ridgeway Village and township taxes, that you desperately needed to build that new high school. At least that got done before you kicked the chair out from under us.
Been a Dodger fan as long as I know. Great prep memories. Some lifelong friends. That won't change.
This ongoing initiative, however, has been pretty sad to watch. To some, we've been a lifelong inconvenience. Too bad.
It's supposed to be about our families, our children, your future students. You had plenty of time to realize that. instead you choose your continued conspiracy.
Could we transition to Barneveld if it came to it? Absolutely. Not being an inconvenience and being appreciated matters...
Those that understand, thank you. Those that wanted this pushed thru, just tainted our new High School.
