posted August 17, 2010 by Dr. Terry Stoops, Joseph Coletti, Dr. Michael Sanera
Watauga County commissioners want voters to approve a $1.9 million sales tax increase to build new recreational facilities. If past is prologue, this new money will not be spent wisely. Watauga County commissioners recently approved the most expensive high school ever built in the state, and they did so without a vote of taxpayers.
