There's No Loss, Says Cox, Leeway Needed To Keep Pace As the eve of the leeway election draws near, questions are being raised rais-ed by local groups, some in opposition to the leeway and some simply seeking seek-ing accountability. The vote will take place on Tuesday, May 7. At issue is a supposed "loss" of $1.5 million dollars by Alpine School District from "unwise" investments. The charge is made by Taxpayers for Government Accountability. Spokesman for the group, Martha A. Hoffmann, says "We are not opposed oppos-ed to money for education, but we are opposed to waste. We feel school districts should be openly accountable to taxpayers for monies expended. Please consider this 'unexplained loss' of $1.5 million dollars when you vote in the leeway election May 7." The group also questions whether or not the invested funds were legally legal-ly designated for investment or were they maintenance and operation monies that legally can be used only for salaries, textbooks, and building maintenance?
