Am I Against a New School?

No, not exactly. I am against the current plans for a new school because I think the whole project was rammed down our throats by a few spoiled brats who wanted their way in order to oil their egos and prove their power in the town.
From what I can discover, the need for a new school isn't nearly as urgent as presented to the public.  It seems obvious-too late- that the whole project just wasn't thoroughly investigated at all levels.  Or if  it was, it appears the plan was to spring the bond on us before we had a chance to ask those vital questions, and to steamroller the voters with tear-jerking persuasion rather than present very much that included the long-range effects of such a project.
What I'm actually against is the lack of ethical behavior, withholding and delay of important  information, and conscienceless manipulation of facts. Too bad this sort of behavior seems to have become the mean rather than the exception in all levels of authority in Electra these days, from school to city to medical complex.
