 
The Keene school bureaucrats have gone all out this month in an attempt to “educate” the voters on a controversial, 20 year, $13 million bond to be used for the restructuring of five elementary schools. I’ve uncovered huge, full page adverts in both the Keene Sentinel and the Monadnock Shopper. They put together a 30sec radio ad that plays on WKBK. If you turn your adblock off, you might notice a “vote on article 1” at the top of the Sentinel’s website.   I’ve also discovered a number of campaign signs scattered throughout Keene and yesterday I received a flyer in the mail.   Who’s paying for all this nonsense? The taxpayers of course. How does the district justify such an unethical use of your hard-earned money? It’s for the kids, duh. Shut up and get back in line.
This morning I called into Dan Mitchel’s radio show. Three representatives from the district were on to promote their bond and budget increase. I was informed spending on advertisements has reached $23,000 so far and that they feel perfectly justified in spending that amount because it helps “instruct” the voters. Here is audio from the 3rd hour. Btw, they refused to talk about the petitioned articles because of the ongoing lawsuit.
