I spoke to an elderly woman that had resided in Lee's Summmit for over 40 years. She is being forced to sell her home because she can no longer afford the taxes. This woman bought and paid for her home never dreaming that the R7 School Board would eventually force her out.
The Board could have not kept building $8.6 million administration centers that would rival that of any Fortune 500 company's board rooms. They could have not built a $12 million aquatic center. They could have spent $25,000 ban uniforms like other school districts and not spent $250,000. They really didn't need turf on the playing fields. They could have not used the bond money and then the taxes could have been lowered. Then they could have raised taxes for the real purpose of our taxes. EDUCATION. They didn't. Now elderly residents are being forced out of their homes in the name of keeping up with the Jones. Really? How sad!!!
Shame on you.
