I first want to thank everyone for the positive comments received. A few negative comments but it helps me to continue on with the blog. The stories that were posted may have caught the attention of our local newspaper by their article posted in regards to the rumors of Kipp Delta Academic Probation. The story was not obviously a rumor. I have spoken to many parents whose children attend KIPP Delta and they stated they were given no notices nor information about this issue which took place in March, 2013. I ask all parents of KIPP DELTA or make that all parents who have children in any school to search the internet by placing key words like complaints. academic achievements. etc and search for yourself. It is important to be active in you and your families life to ensure their protection and safety.
An issue that seemed to hit a nerve with several community members when inquiring about the 2% additional tax on fast food, restaurants. motels, and hotels, and other tourist attractions. On the issues of sale tax, I have called into different agencies to obtain information. The issue of the A&P Commission Tax is paid directly to the City in which it designed for. For every $1.00 you spend eating out, you Pay the A&P Commission 2 cents. I am requesting a breakdown of taxes because I truly believe the tourism tax that is paid into the fund is being paid by citizens and not tourism.
More stories coming this weekend and thanks for reading the update. This blog can only allow the reader to review the information provided. If a question is needed to be asked, they may investigate themselves or contact the web-site. Blogs like this are important to keep informed and to start a conversation between citizens.
