Center's 'small' price is food on table for some

I wrote a letter a while back but by the time I got around to taking it to the paper, a lot of other people had already said what I was going to say, and that is we don't need a recreation district. If some want it so bad let them pay for it, not the taxpayers. My taxes are high enough already.

They say it will cost $60 per $100,000 of assessed value. Just think if each property owner only paid $60 per year, and you know most will pay more, how much money that will be for a non-profit sports complex?

Sandpoint Center Corp. president Dr. Robert Pierce said it is a small price. It may be a small price for him, but for me and many others it is food on the table or not.

I hear talk about making Second Street in Kootenai into a through street for about 50 houses to be build east of Kootenai. I think there would be a much better place to make a road just north of Kootenai. That would be a lot of traffic on our now quiet street.
