West Carrollton government schools asking for more money
West Carrollton Schools Superintendent Rusty Clifford announced that the district on May 4 will ask voters to pass the lowest new operating levy millage amount in the district’s history. Clifford made the announcement Wednesday night, Jan. 6, during the West Carrollton Board of Education meeting. He said the district will be asking voters to pass a three-year, 3.25-mill operating levy.
The levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home $99.53 annually, said Ryan Sloan, district treasurer. The district also will ask voters on May 4 to renew a 6.5-mill operating levy that voters passed in May 2007.
Why should taxpayers be extorted out of more money for a district that is “at risk”?

Brit Hume: Jesus Christ – "two most explosive words in English language"
Fox News analyst Brit Hume says he doesn’t regret urging Tiger Woods to become a Christian so the golfer can find forgiveness for marital infidelity.
Hume told CBN News that “Christianity is a religion for sinners — and I think that Tiger Woods has an opportunity here, and my prayer would be that he would take it.” Hume has been denounced for saying that he doesn’t think the famous golfer’s belief in Buddhism “offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith.”
Brit Hume (news analyst)The longtime journalist said he wasn’t surprised that the remark aroused controversy. “If you’re trying to find the two most explosive words in the English language, those two words are ‘Jesus Christ,'” he stated.
He recognizes that openly expressing faith in Jesus Christ offends a lot of people. “People rage about this,” he said. “It’s very offensive to those who don’t share the faith, [and] it’s offensive to some people who claim they do share the faith. This is to be expected, and it has been happening to people who proclaim their faith in Christ for as long as anybody can remember — this is part of the deal.”
Hume described how he became a Christian. “Eleven years ago, my son committed suicide,” he shared. “And as you can imagine, it was absolutely devastating. And yet throughout that whole horrible time, I had this sense that God was there for me, that he would rescue me, that he would save me — and he did.”
The news analyst said he was deeply moved by the hundreds of letters of condolence he received after that tragedy. “I felt that I was seeing in them the face of God,” he recalled, “and I felt that it was time for me now to face up to the Christian faith which I purported to belong to, and try to face up to the implications of what I purported to believe — and I’ve been trying ever since.”
For those who are offended at the mention of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I’m offended that you’re offended.
