To the editor: A new high school would be wonderful. However, the proposal by Doug Kirchhofer is ludicrous and here’s why: The property he proposes carries a huge burden, namely inside the National Scenic Area outside the Urban Growth boundary. Both require massive action to develop for a permanent structure, if not impossible. It places a serious bond issue on the community for purchase of property and construction of buildings, not to mention extreme location for transportation.

To the editor: I understand that we will be offered an opportunity to subsidize a bond issue by the Northern Wasco County Parks and Recreation District for a new pool facility. We already subsidized the Design LLC (Google) facility for the next 15 years. Were you offered a subsidy by the city or the county to expand anything you were doing?
