Letter about ...Rushford-Peterson Referendum
To the Editor,
We are writing to inform people about the upcoming referendum for Rushford-Peterson residents on Wednesday, December 19 from 11–8 pm in the Rushford-Peterson High School lobby. The request is for $15 million to build a new EC-5 building and refurbish the R-P elementary. The “Vote Yes” Committee requests support for this initiative for many reasons.
•Today’s low construction costs and interest rates make it a prudent time to build.
•This can also be a boom to the local economy as local businesses will be asked to bid on the construction project.
•Long term, the District will need to invest $10-12 million into the existing R-P High School building and $1.7 million into the Middle School facility. Investments in these buildings will only act as a temporary solution because the buildings’ age will continue to present new problems.
Some of the advantages of a new EC-5 facility will include:
•Better air quality;
•Safer Location (current location is located on main highway);
•Use of 21st century education spaces, while maximizing the use of technology;
•Lower maintenance, utility and transportation costs;
•Major improvement in green space for our younger children;
•One step closer to the long term plan of having the high school, middle school, and elementary school all on one site.
•The last investment in R-P facilities was 43 years ago! Most districts pass a referendum every 10 years.
•The local businesses and economy will benefit from a strong school district.
•The tax impact for the majority of residents with homesteads in our district will be less than or equal to the cost of a bottle of soda per day.
Please attend one of the two informational meetings for the public, November 26, 2012, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm at the Middle School in Peterson, or December 10, 2012, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in the Elementary Cafeteria. You can also visit our website at www.voteyesr-p.org.
Our kids deserve better, our community deserves better. Please come out and vote YES.

To the Editor,
The only time to guarantee there is no voter fraud is before the ballots go into the box. Once a vote is cast, no one knows, nor should they know, who voted for whom. The recounts in Minnesota over the last several cycles have proved
