Collinsville
school lunch prices were increased (for the first time since 2001
and for only the 2nd time in 22 years) at the 8/6/2007 School Board
meet. No changes to K-8th breakfast (still $1) or low-income meals.
K-5 Elementary lunch now $1.75 (was $1.50). Secondary
lunch now $2 (was $1.75). Adult lunch now $2.75 (was
$2.50). These prices include one milk. An extra milk was increased
to 30 cents (was 25 cents). The increase was made as the CNP program
was starting to run in the red. The new prices are still similar
or lower than most neighboring schools. Pat Herald mentioned that
dairy product prices alone were up 35% in just the past year. --

Tulsa
has a long history of getting someone else to pay it's bills. Several
years ago, I recall one bond issue, what they titled "Tulsa
City/County Bond Issue". It included widening of intersections
(Tulsa), build new fire stations (Tulsa), etc. The only county project
was a new bridge over Mingo Creek on N Mingo Road. Not a really
busy bridge. For this endeavor everyone in Tulsa Co had to pay.
During a recent hearing, questions were heard about the terrible
condition of Tulsa city streets. A city counselor replied "We'll
develop the river project, it'll attract new business, then we'll
have revenue to fix the streets". I don't think so. When in
doubt, cast it out. Vote NO! -- J. Dixon (8/8/2007) |
No
to river tax. If development is so vital to Tulsa then
PRIVATE money can fund it and free enterprise will flourish. --
Tim Nelson 8/1/2007 |
There
will be a Tulsa county-wide vote Oct. 9th on sales tax use for Arkansas
River Development as Tulsa County Commersioners voted August 1st
to proceed with the plan. |
County
Tax For Tulsa River Development? Absolutely
not! Seems like a no-brainer to me. Collinsville should
not be taxed to pay for something in Tulsa that will benefit so
few when there are so many local needs of higher priority and potential
payback. -- Ted Wright 8/1/2007 |
I
hate to say this, but I am against supporting something that will
not help Collinsville in my opinion. I think Collinsville has many
things that need to be fixed or replaced that would benefit us better.
(example: the city swimming pool)
Tulsa should support its on endeavors and not make the surrounding
towns support their causes. We have already lost a long standing
fixture in the Tulsa community when Bell's was forced out of business.
Again I say vote NO! -- Dana
Howard 7/28/2007

The
only river tax I`d support would be a CANEY
River development tax. -- Rick Clark 8/1/2007 |
A
Tulsa
World/KTUL TV poll of 500 from Tulsa County showed only 39%
would support the proposed Tulsa river development. (with 51% opposed)
