Once again I state my opposition to using tax monies for tennis courts at public schools. During a time of economic challenges, when teachers across the state are being laid off, and when many counties will face budget shortfalls paying for fuel for county vehicles and school district buses, it is not a time to consider spending money to build tennis courts on public school campus. Any such recreational public monies should be spent on projects that benefit all residents — not just school children. ...more

It is amazing to think that one individual could cause so much trouble for individuals trying to provide a much needed service to the community. How could a facility exist for over 15 years without complaints and then have the noise become intolerable after one individual moves into the area? The complainant was told, at the time he visited the rental property, that a kennel was located nearby. Common sense would have told anyone that there would be barking. If the barking is as bad as the complainant now claims, wouldn't he have heard it while visiting the property? Did the dogs begin to bark just because he moved in? Of course not. ...more
