  Where does the Bedford County School Board come up with the big bucks to hire a lawyer when they keep complaining they don’t have any money and need money for this and need money for that and now they are suing the County Commissioners because of the property taxes.

  The school board didn’t get the money they thought they would when trying to raise our property taxes and now they are spending tax dollars hiring lawyers to sue to try to get money. To me this doesn’t make sense to spend tax dollars to try to get money. Seems to me that you don’t need the money if you can spend that much money to hire lawyers to sue the Commissioners.

  Personally I think people who don’t have any children, the elderly on fixed incomes and other people whose children are grown and long out of school shouldn’t have to pay school taxes.

  I guess the school board isn’t out to save money, but spend it anyway they can.
  With the upcoming elections and the majority of people are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore, I’m sure your actions will be remembered for any forthcoming levy or anything else you put on the ballots in the future.
