Shelby County Schools seems to be hiding financial information in order to run the clock out on a tax referendum signature drive.
Levi Anderson joins the show to talk about how the community in Shelby County is trying to fight back against a 10% property tax revenue increase from the schools.
Community members have been requesting financial information from the schools through open records requests. The schools have been late in responding. When they do respond they claim there is some technicality wrong with the request. Why are they doing this?
The citizens only have 8 more days to get signatures from registered voters in order to put the tax increase on the ballot. If Shelby County Schools can hold off on revealing potentially damning information, it won't motivate voters to sign and the tax increase can go through, BEFORE the voters find out about the waste, fraud, and abuse inside the school system.
