Celeste Cleary's Letter to the Editor 02/04/10: Voting YES to Save Money

Two years ago I took a tour of the Middle School and experienced a building that was jaw-droppingly decrepit and ineffective.

We need to renovate. So let's pass this bond and get the work going. The
sooner we do this we will start to get return-of-investment from the
increased insulation, solar hot water panels, geothermal, dual-flush toilets
and HVAC efficiencies of this plan. For example: auto-sensors to dim lights
when daylight is sufficient will cost $185,000 -- and get us a payback of
investment in only 2-5 years. From this one technology we will be saving on
utilities for decades to come.

Let's do this. Vote YES.


Every day we delay our tax dollars are literally pouring out the windows.
