Commentary on School Bond Issue

A group of citizens who are opposed to the $109,000,000 District 55 School Bond referendum held a gathering Thursday night at Grace Baptist Church on Metric Road. People in attendance included outspoken critic of the bond, Jayhue “Jay” Weisner, who wrote WLBG expressing his thoughts on the referendum. He also comments on School Board Member Robby Bell being present and participating in the meeting. Here are the comments of Jay Weiser:

 

Letter to WLBG

The meeting of the citizens opposing the $109,000,000 bond referendum meet 7/13/2017 and we were honored with   Mr. Bell’s attendance . He  shared with the group, the construction details of the new purposed High School. He did not share the location of this new facility, although he indicated it had been discussed in a closed meetings. He went on to great length  in discussing the closing of several middle schools, and  the construction of other building  , to accommodate  overcrowding . The cost of these plans are in addition to the $109,000,000 requested in the bond issue .  He discussed the servicing of the present debit,  which included the three bonds that are outstanding from the past 18 years (1999-2017). They are  $25,000,000 , $35,000,000 and the latest, $1,000,000 bond for the district office. (Palmetto Bank building) This totals $61,000,000 which has been spent in an effort to keep these  building in good  conditions and have pass OSHA inspections. The debit service of these bonds are 54 mills,which equate to $ 4,968,000 per year. ( 54 X $92,000)  The new bond service debit for the $109,000,000  ( 57mills X $92,000) $5,244,000 per year, would be added to this, bring the total yearly payment to $10,212,000.  I understood that Mr. Bell said the oldest bond  would be paid off in 2029,( $25,000,000)  the next bond( $35,000,000) in 2037 and the last($109,000,000) in 2047.

What the voter needs to understand is the total amount of dollars the school board expects you to approve for the next thirty years. The first 12 years total  debt service = $122.544 MILLION Dollars. The next 8 years it reduces to $73.5264 MILLION Dollars and the last 10 years debt service reduces to $52.445 MILLION Dollars. Total money borrowed and interest  from 1999- 2017 (provided the bond referendum passes  would be  $169,000,000  plus interest which  equals  $248,5254,000!

Mr. Bell went on to say he didn’t agree with 5 of  the 6 boards recommendations ,but votes yes to go along.. He also indicated we have him to thank for allowing the public to vote on this bond referendum. I assume other members of the board preferred to move forward without the voters approval.

Mr. Bell added the comment,” the School Board will not have a scheduled meeting in the month of July and the  August meeting would be the last opportunity to share with the public the plans that has never been published , before the referendum.

I appreciate   Mr. Bell attending the meeting and keeping our group appraised of the boards plans.

Laurens Sheriff Protests Treatment of Rape Victim

0
0

The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office has protested that Greenville Healthcare System would not perform an examination on a victim of sexual assault at the Laurens County Hospital, following a sexual assault.

Deputies were dispatched Thursday on report of a Burglary and Sexual Assault. Officers say their investigation determined that a man had forcefully entered the victim’s residence, cut her with a sharp instrument, held her against her will and then brutally, sexually assaulted her.

A Sheriff’s Office statement said “The victim was, of course, very distraught and traumatized after experiencing such a violent crime. A Deputy called for an ambulance to transport the victim to the Laurens County Memorial Hospital for medical evaluation.”

The Sheriff’s release said that in sexual assault investigations, part of the evaluation and treatment process involves nurses and/or doctors collecting evidence and looking for signs of trauma to the victim. This evidence is collected in a Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit which is then turned over to the Law Enforcement Agency conducting the investigation.

The Sheriff’s Office advised that in this particular case, the Laurens County Hospital did not have a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (S.A.N.E.) on duty to perform the examination/collection of evidence and recommended that the victim go to a hospital in Greer to have this done.

An Investigator with the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office talked with hospital personnel and explained the Sheriff’s Office’s concerns with asking an extremely traumatized victim to travel to another county for this procedure. It said “The victim, which was very traumatized by this incident, declined and did not wish to go to Greer. In many instances, the best practice is to have a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (S.A.N.E.) perform this task, however if one is not available a nurse or doctor could still accomplish this if necessary.”

Sheriff Reynolds attempted to reach out to Kay Swisher and Justin Benfield of The Greenville Health System’s Laurens Campus for an explanation and to seek a solution to this problem. A statement issued Saturday afternoon said that as of that time, they had not been able to make contact with anyone.

The Sheriff’s statement said “It is absolutely unbelievable that the Laurens County Hospital would not perform the examination/collection of evidence, and would request that a victim of such a horrendous crime have to travel to another County to get this done. This jeopardizes the investigation and puts the victim at further risk of harm.”

The statement added, “Fortunately, in this particular situation there was enough evidence to move forward and arrest the individual responsible for assaulting the victim.”

39-year-old John David Hall of 147 John Deere Lane, Easley was arrested Friday and charged with 1st Degree Burglary, Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st Degree, Kidnapping and with Breach of Peace, Aggravated in Nature. During arraignment, bond was denied on all four charges. John David Hall remained in the Laurens County Detention Center Saturday night.

  • Monday: McLeod Park 9 – Clinton 7… Yesterday Clinton had to take on McLeod Park a team out of District 10 in the Florence area… McLeod Park jumped out to an early lead scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the first inning… Clinton chipped away at the lead and only trailed 4-3 going into the bottom of the third inning… McLeod Park platted 2 more runs in the bottom of the third to go up 6-3… Clinton responded scoring 4 runs in the top of the fourth to take a 7-6 lead… They then held McLeod Park scoreless in the bottom of the fourth but failed to do so in the bottom of the fifth where McLeod Park pushed 3 runs across and then hold Clinton scoreless in the sixth to take the win and eliminate Clinton from the tournament… Congratulations to the team on winning the district and making it into the state tournament.
