It's (high school) football playoff time...again. All those teams that are in the playoffs are vying with each other at neutral sites.
Remember back in 2000 when a couple of our current board members stuffed the idea of a new, very expensive stadium down the throats of the taxpayers of Highlands? One of the biggest pieces of bullshit we heard from those who were so intent on bilking us was "But it will be used for all kinds of athletic events including WPIAL Playoffs. And that will generate a lot of cash for the district!"
SO...the question is this:
Can anyone tell me how many playoff games have been played at our 4 million dollar (plus interest) stadium? I'm sure someone knows. And how much money has the district made from the albatross?
With the advent of higher taxes next year and really high taxes the next 10 years because our "Poor teachers" need to live like politicians in their retirement, I can think of 4 million reasons why Wantland, Wisner and Heasley have no business on this board. If any one of them had even an ounce of decency or respect for the district and its taxpayers, they'd resign right now.
How many playoff uses for the stadium?
All i know is that the NEW STADIUM was used for play off games & marching band concerts for about 2 yrs after it was built, After that nothing, A person who worked as a security man told me the school has nothing to do with playoff teams using the field, As he told me the WPIAL decides were the playoffs are to be held, I really do not know as i am just telling you what he told me.
