I'm not very optimistic of the options that we are left with if this referendum is not passed.

This is something that is near and dear to me because I have three children in the school district. If it doesn't pass, it worries me about the quality of education in our community. I hope people realize we need this money for classroom space. With all of our differences set aside, we truly need these classrooms.

People see the dollar amount we are asking for, and they tend to stop there because it is such an astronomical amount. They have a hard time comprehending it is not going to cost them a couple of hundred dollars on their tax bill.

We do not have too many options left and we certainly won't be taking any risks with the Rangers match so close.

We've got to do something. There's not really a lot of options, so we'll try this.

We're getting to drastic options. We don't have any easy ones left.
