How Does a Tax Hike Committee Spend $45,000 on Computer Services?
I wish I had more answers than questions about the School District 300 tax hike committee’s expenditures.
Today, I’ve asked what tax hike committee Advance 300 rented from District 300, why Advance 300 did not report District 300 Superintendent Ken Arndt’s $600 contribution on a timely basis and here’s another question:
The answer apparently is that one doesn't.
It was direct mail, not computer services, that Winning Mark brags about on its web site.
So, can we expect tax hike committee Advance 300 to correct what the $45,000 was spent on?
Or will the tax hike committee be as opaque as it was when it failed to report the $600 contribution from District 300 School District Superintendent Ken Arndt? (Again, if anyone files a complaint for the committee's not having reported the purpose of the expenditure accurately, please let me know.)
