Jamestown Public School Board approves going ahead with plan

The Jamestown Public School Board approved Monday moving forward with a refinancing option that could save taxpayers about $2.5 million. Under the proposed plan, the School Board would sell refinanced bonds for the Jamestown High School and Middle School project. The plan would knock off four years of payments, said Myron Knutson, who advises schools on bond issues and indebtedness. So, the bonds would be paid off in 2017 as opposed to 2021. Taxpayers would save about $2.5 million. The current debt is about $13.5 million.

Letter to the editor: Providing universal health care can help our economy

Change can be tough. We are afraid the unknown might be worse than the known. Google “World’s 10 Largest Exporters” and you see Germany is the world’s largest exporter in value of goods. China is second, United States third, Japan fourth and France fifth. To exceed the U.S. and China in value of exports, the small country of Germany is doing something right. They also make sure everyone has health care.

Global Connect being tested today

This has been an interesting week. The early snow caused the movement of the State Soccer Tournament and it created an interesting football game with Fargo South on Friday night. On the other hand, in talking with Coach Cahill, I understand that the senior boys won the first ever snowball fight after practice one night last week. It is always good to create a memory.
