Its sad Mr. Slaton isn’t doing whats right for district 5. Just because we play ball,doesn’t mean everyone does. Tired of my tax dollars taking care of everyone else. Time to vote some one in who cares about district 5…Mr. Slaton obviously been in office to long.

Why not create a program to teach kids and young adults how to be self sufficient, grow their own food, plant fruit trees, teach them framing and low voltage electrical projects? Seems like a waste of an opportunity to teach our youth who desperately need guidance right now.

It was voted in by voters( not me). It is just another government bureaucracy that will never do what it said it would do. Watch and see, the rate will continue to rise like the fire tax, I remember when it started it was 5.00 now it is over a 100.00.
Never vote for another new government program.

Seems like the tax dollars could be allocated for use in the district from which it was collected.

What about the children that aren’t into sports, like my nephew? Where are the community centers? Parks? Hell, we don’t even have sidewalks in District 5 unless you’re in front of the schools on Kingsfield.

After school tutoring programs should be high on the list for the school district, since school achievement grades are so dismal. But there is little money or none at all available from the district I’m told by my kids’ school to fund tutoring activities. Playing ball north of nine mile road, Mr. Slayton? Looks like your priorities are stuck in reverse.

Here is just another disadvantages for our youth in District 5. North Escambia District 5 could use a Boys & Girls club. A facility with property to offer additional activities and sports.
