Many of us here in Lexington are rightly concerned with the high cost of housing in our community. Property taxes are a very large component of housing costs....
Jesse wrote the following and honestly I don't know why I'm wasting my time, but I just have to say I don't agree. It's plain to me and many, many others that...

You might not waste your time if you addressed the issues I've actually raised instead of raising your own. I've never said 2.5% is a magic number to which the...
My email was not meant as an opportunity to debate. It was meant as an open ended response to a position I disagree with. Failing to pass an override in the...

Dear Jesse, Can you afford to vote "NO"? I'm with Edith and Annie on this. The 'you can't afford to vote YES' doesn't pan out for any of the people I know....

So because you don't personally know anyone adversely affected by our very large property tax increases, we should all vote YES? Because those on fixed...
Your emails are not a response to anything I've said, or to anything any NO person I know has said. I'm not punishing anybody, I'm telling the schools to get...

Hi, Jessie. Perhaps few one of us are actually bothering to answer the other's questions. I see little in most (but not all) YES folks' posts about budget...
Perhaps you might try focusing on the schools and the override rather than on personalities. These numbers come from the schools themselves, and the...

Dear Jim, I'm sorry I didn't post back yesterday. My reply to Jesse took a while! For me, no, keeping property value up isn't what this is about -- but, ...
