It has been one of the busiest weeks I can remember. It has been a whirlwind ever since Monday. Monday was filled with a lot of news media interviews concerning our tax hearing on Tuesday. My staff hosted open houses at our new school district offices on Tuesday and that night we all worked at the Truth-in-Taxation hearing. Jordan District has proposed a 40% tax increase and the taxpayers came out in full force to yell at the school board. I was incredibly disappointed with the tone of the meeting. Residents were angry, rude, disrespectful, uneducated and vocal. What a sad commentary on our society. It seems we are no longer respectful when we disagree with other's decisions or opinions. Wednesday was filled with more news media interviews about the hearing and Thursday was the annual Administrative Leadership Conference. Whew! Here's hoping for a quiet Friday.
