Don't deprive youth of strong public education

I'm writing this letter to support the West Bonner County School District.

I’m a conservative who had two of my letters not published in the, in my opinion, liberal Bonner County Daily Bee because of my "Make America Great Again" views.

I must say that by not voting to support your local school district, you are not only not making America great again, but you are not supporting your children and ruining your community. The children deserve an opportunity to better themselves. With a non-funded school system, your home values are depreciating.

I understand at one time West Bonner school district was Lake Ponderay school district. Maybe that is the answer. I support that even if it would cost me more and I live on a pension and Social Security and my wife job with a mortgage. Whatever needs to be done to give the children a strong education is what should be done. Figure it out. Don’t deprive the children of a strong public education.
