Students Come First
Our county has become frivolous with our tax dollars, and I’m tired of it. Before our county spends money on fancy security systems and gives health check bonuses to employees, it needs to replace the pool at Ventura High School and paint its buildings.
The young people deserve the best, not the county employees. Do you give your family the scraps from your table after you have eaten well? When you don’t take care of our children’s needs, you are saying you don’t care about them, they’re not worth it.
We all need to look at our county’s budget and make some drastic changes.
