As an educator from South Brunswick and a resident of North Brunswick, I would like to express my strong sentiment in favor of the Jan. 22 North Brunswick bond referendum.
Not only is the state supporting us with about $8 million of the $30 million improvements, but current bond rates are so favorable that it is unlikely that we will have a set of circumstances so beneficial to the taxpayers any time soon.
Furthermore, the proposed improvements are warranted based on the current school population in the district.
If the referendum is not passed, the alternative of temporary classrooms is very wasteful as the township gets no lasting value out of the expense of providing temporary classrooms.
In conclusion, I encourage my fellow citizens to take advantage of present economic conditions and the state funding about 26 percent of the improvements by voting "yes" for the bond referendum on Jan. 22.
