Voter unhappy with school cost

Excellent article about the additional cost to the school. You are totally correct in how it was presented for a vote in increased taxes. Seems like the jail was the same issue. It ended up getting a tunnel and a second floor. I would never vote again for a tax increase for a project based on the city's smoke and mirror presentation.

Tone down scent

I would like to know why some of the consignment stores are so filled with strongly scented products. I'm not so sure what they are using, but there is something overwhelming especially in two of the stores. If people are bringing in dirty clothes and you are trying to overcompensate the for the smell make them wash their clothes or something. I just can't believe more people complaining about it. In two of the smells are so strong when you open the door it hits you in the face. I guess the people that work there can't smell it anymore because they have gotten used to it. It triggered an asthma flair up for my son, he had to use his inhaler. So now I can't even shop in there for clothes for him unless I try to find something with him not with me which is hard to do because I need him to try them on.

I think it's kinda crazy to have the store that strongly scented. I think you might have more customers if you'd tone it down a bit. Just one little tiny air freshener should do it instead of overwhelming the entire store with it.
