Voters Say ‘Yes’ To Fulton Budget, Bus; Library Vote Uncertain
Residents in the Fulton City School District weighed in in favor of the proposed 2008-09 spending plan and bus proposition at the polls Tuesday. At this time, however, it appears voters may have rejected Fulton Public Library’s request for an additional $50,000 in operating funds for the coming year.
Voters say no to the district’s budget plan, 1,392 to 1,956. “It’s back to the drawing board,” some board members said Tuesday night.
Marion Blumenthal Lazan says people should respect each other and show tolerance toward one another despite their differences. She talks about the Holocaust to keep it alive. Everyone must do everything in their power to prevent such hatred, such destruction and such terror from ever reoccurring, she said.
