Dear Editor,
I am writing to support the LPOSD Plant Facilities Levy on Aug. 30. In short, this measure and the project that will follow is much needed and overdue in our community. I have seen the schools, walked the halls and sat in the classrooms that will be replaced, and it is time. Unfortunately, this measure has become less focused on the facts and truths regarding failing buildings and more focused on personal attacks by a negative, anti-anything political group with a talent for distorting the facts. Let’s leave the fear mongering, paranoia, negativism and conspiracy theories to the national political scene and focus on something that will have long lasting positive effect in our community. Our students deserve quality buildings, positive community support and yes, even the “little jocks” deserve a quality place to go to school and participate in activities. I encourage you to support the LPOSD Plant Facilities Levy on Aug. 30.

... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
