Chris John Mallios Responds to Craig Farris
February 14, 2005 
 
  

 


Out of the numerous (over 50 emails) that I have received not one, let me repeat that, NOT ONE has agreed with the action taken regarding Palomino road.  

I am not surprised, given Mr. Farris’ location that he is upset.  But to say the school district is attempting to “blackmail” I believe was his word, is a little dramatic to say the least.  What a shame Mr. Farris did not volunteer for the CCISD committee that researched where the new schools should go. I guess if you want your voice to be heard you should get involved.  

But let’s cut to the chase. When it’s all said and done Big League Dreams will cost 25 million, the new swimming pool for the swimmers will cost 5 million. Yet our city does not wish to pay 3.5 million to widen a road for a new high school?  A new high School that will benefit most citizens of League City ?  

You know I think more people come and settle in League City not because of the friendly cooperative actions of our city but because the CCISD is a great district to educate our children. Before League City was incorporated the CCISD was here insuring the high standard of education it has become known for.  

One last observation that I believe has been over looked. What about the economic boon for our town? With all those new teachers eating lunch and shopping in League City we stand to make a fortune.   Where’s the economic development magical formula when you need it? I’m surprised the city did not give the school district a special deal like it does for others who are bringing jobs to our town!  I’ll bet if we put this in the BLD formula.. you know the one that said Big League Dreams will make us a fortune.. , we would get a couple million a year just off the teachers. At that rate the road will pay for itself in two or three years!!!!
