We have no voice if we do not vote

Thought I’d remind folks the millage property tax increase, which is expected to help fund local education, will be up for vote Tuesday. We can voice our opinions one way or the other about this issue, but the most important opinion of all is our vote. If we do not vote, then we really do not have a voice.

Anyway, we will publish columns from Auburn City Schools Superintendent Terry Jenkins and Opelika City Schools Superintendent Mark Neighbors on the issue in Friday’s newspaper. Saturday, reporter/columnist Jennifer Foster takes a closer look at the proposed 7-mill increase. Monday, former Lee County Schools administrator Larry DiChiara, now with Phenix City Schools, gives his two cents.

In the meantime, we will continue to publish letters from readers on the subject. Bear in mind that space is limited and time is running out.
