The taxpayers are revolting. All over New York taxpayers are saying no to new projects, fees and taxes. Ithaca said no more money for the County library. And before Lansing could officially say no the Board of Education (BOE) withdrew its plan to ask the voters to support a $30 - $40 million capital project.
That was a smart move. The BOE had built the project including almost all the elements that would make it good for the schools, students and program. They started with a "wish list" that prioritized needs at the top, program priorities, and then "wants." They almost immediately cut it in half. They pruned it and tweaked it to make sure it was eligible for the most possible amount of State aid. They only forgot one thing.

The perfect response to complaints about lack of communication might have been someone's saying at one of the meetings that reading the Lansing Star's coverage of the process would have brought concerned citizens up to speed. I've felt very well informed all along. From: Jim Evans

Every so often I use this space to blow our own horn. Sometimes I mention that in order to bring you the Lansing Star we need advertisers, and I ask you to consider advertising with us, either your business or a classified ad when you have something to sell, a service to offer, and so on. When I do that I mention our incredibly reasonable rates, and sometimes even mention our web services and products that you can learn about at our company's web site at http://www.lstarpublishing.com. Not to mention that we are swell people!
But I'm not going to do that in this editorial. Instead I am going to talk about you blowing your own horn. Did you know that we accept guest editorials? If you have something to say and can express it minimally eloquently you can submit a guest editorial to us. It can be on any topic that affects the Lansing community.

In the December 23 Entertainment section, I enjoyed the Smart Talk article. I have to add two of my least favorite sayings - The all time first is "eachin-every" as in each and every one of you. Why can't we say each one or every one, but not both? Then, of course, there is concensus of opinion. Concensus means the opinion, so we don't have to add that. Let's have more of these silly redundant sayings brought to light so that we can eliminate them.
