I saw where the Longview school bond failed. Like the bond in Marshall a few years ago.... it was a contentious issue for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons (on both sides of the argument).
To be honest...I was surprised it failed. I expected to barely pass just like their 2008 bond. But it was voted down by a HUGE margin. I definitely didn't expect a landslide loss.
The bond would have renovated LHS, renovated Lobo Stadium and Lobo Coliseum, and built an indoor practice facility.
Bonds in East Texas are so stinking hard to pass unless it's for schools only.... and even then they can be hard to pass. But anything addressing athletic facilities seems to make it exponentially more difficult. Especially when the price tag is in the $230 million range.
I wish MISD could consider a small bond to finish the renovation of MHS, but I'd say that's unlikely to happen.
The school board has done an outstanding job of getting MHS renovated a little a time without a bond. Very grateful for their efforts.
Bonds also failed in Ore City, Abilene, and several places around Texas.
Tough times to be asking for more money from the taxpayers.
