Charlie West's Letter to the Editor 12/23/09: Let's Get This Project on the Road

Times are tough, I have to agree, and there is no guarantee of what tomorrow will be. But do we really want to wait to pass the New Paltz Middle School project? There will always be a reason why "now" is not the right time. So let's get this project on the road. Other towns and cities in the country are in the same situation and no one knows what the future will bring. But we must not hinder the education of our children, our future. It has been proven that proceeding with another "band aid" won't work. A temporary fix is just that, temporary. We need a school that will help to prepare our children for the 22nd century. And as for waiting better technology, if we did that, none of us would own a computer or a new car. So let's try to be optimistic about our future and give our children a competitive chance. After all, we had no problem voting for the money for the library.
