Hey Pete, Hey Joe: There is a problem with your inter-local government agreement. Actually, there are three issues with the agreement. There would have been no issues if the county government had followed state law in issuing bonds for school construction. There was a purpose for this state law to be on the books for city and county to follow. It is called fairness. It divides taxpayer dollars in a fair and equitable amount for children who reside in either the county or the city.
