LETTER: Vote no until economy better

What is wrong with this picture?  

The school district wants to pass a $54 million bond levy, yet our country has struggled with nearly eight years of dismal economic growth.

Our two presidential hopefuls do not offer much consolation.  Trump may be serving up a trade war based on his protectionist position, and Clinton may crush the economy with more taxes and regulations.  

There is no question, the school infrastructure is aging, and we are reaching and exceeding capacity, yet the district has decided to ignore the current economic risks and borrow the money for a “new car and a facelift.”

I urge the voters to think long and hard about the risks of further economic decline. We may need our limited economic capital to actually educate the kids. Vote No on the school bond issues. —David Mosby, Kalispell
