Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

I am truly sorry, dear readers

PATA webmaster, I respectfully request that this subject in your forum be deleted in its entirety. I cannot bear the thought of subjecting the readers to another string of replies from Mr. Uher. The future of our kid's education is just not that important.

Let's Look to the Future

Maverick,

Let?’s try to look to the future and try to find ways to work together to address community issues rather than dwell in the past on what has divided us.

Let?’s all try a bit harder to be more respectful to all within our community and try to listen a bit more to those that have differing opinions.

Noble resolutions for the New Year, don?’t you agree?

Mark's a Monk

Maverick,


I hope you are not a woman. I think you have turned Mark W. Uher into a monk. Oh! How he preaches the high road. Now lets all work together. However if Mr. Uher has found religion, then in line with being a monk he needs a confession of his sins?

Was Mr. Uher respectful Of Gail Oakes when she ran for Pickerington School board three months ago? Check PATA WEB site.

Has Mr. Uher ever been respectful to either Dr. Rigelman or his family when Dr. Rigelman was having health problems. Mr. Uher justifies his actions by saying these are public officials. Tries to compare board members to vice Presidents of the United States. Check PATA WEB site.

Mr. Uher were you respectful above?

Mr. Uher you preach about helping the schools and that is the only thing that matters to you! You complain about the teacher to student ratios. You complain about the portable classrooms. You complain about the school overcrowding. You complain about the expenditures per pupil. Yet what have you done to help this situation besides ask the taxpayers for more of their tax dollars?

Come on what have you done to correct the problems?

Lets see you aligned yourself with Mr. Daryl Berry. Yes he is the Platinum member to the Pickerington Chamber of Commerce. You do this because he strokes your ego. He knows people in town and he can help get your school levies passed.

Mr. Uher just asked your self why is Mr. Berry helping you and the school get their levy passed? Let me answer that, because if we have more school capacity he can wheel and deal and turn more properties so he can make millions of dollars from the local tax payers and you help him thinking that you are building a great future for your children. In just the last four years Mr. Berry was the civic leader going to bring in commercial properties to our school district. Thirteen months later he turns the property behind Kroger into houses. That was our last great commercial location within the Pickerington City limits. Now we must find our rainbow elsewhere.

Just exactly where is that rainbow Mr. Uher, south of Busey Road? Didn?’t you chair a committee with Daryl to politically pressure the Township trustees into backing away from the CEDA agreement? This agreement was not even in the PLSD. In was entirely in the Canal Winchester School District. If I were to guess I would guess that you and Mrs. Carlier, Larry Sigman and Lori Sanders did that to get the cell tower placed on the school grounds. Was that the exchange?

If you want to be a leader in this community then you must find a way to slow the residential growth. It is out of control at the moment and our children will pay the consequences. You must speak against these wasteful TIF?’s that the city passed prior to the election so they could get a couple of their buddies re-elected.

I suspect you will take a vow of silence like all good monks. The passage of the High School levy last year only encouraged them and now we have homes springing up everywhere. We will never be able to fix the school problems without first fixing the growth problems.

No... just a liar!

I think anyone who has read this discussion or heard Mark speak publicly knows mark is not a monk... just a liar! The most dispicable of all community actvists... a known liar! Much like Pictown Mayor Hughes and select council members. We must root out this cancer once and for all!
