By Broadus Schools Superintendent Jim Hansen At our August trustee meeting we discussed our increase in state guaranteed tax base dollars which contributed to our decrease in local taxes. The revenue responsible for our tax decrease was allocated from the 95 mills that is assessed to all state taxpayers. Many counties saw their taxable evaluations increase dramatically this year, and are choosing not to assess all of the 95 mills. With the higher taxable evaluations these counties are maintaining the State would receive approximately...

October 9, 2023 My daughter informed me that her husband will be taking training to become a drill sergeant. She also stated basic training does not have the complete “Shark Attack” like what occurred during her basic training experience. What is a “Shark Attack”? I was informed it was the prolonged verbal greeting drill sergeants give new cadets when they first arrive at basic training. Apparently, even the military has changed in an effort to retain recruits. Our world and societal issues have become much more complex, and preparing student...

Recently a group of travelers were at the gas station with a vehicle issue. They were obviously foreigners with broken English, but I eventually realized they wanted to borrow a jack to repair a tire. Living next to a gas station can have its drawbacks. Like many of you I can have preconceived perceptions of strangers, especially those who are more than likely from another country. Reluctantly, I agreed to loan them my floor jack and my wife complemented me for my good deed. Later that evening the gas station contacted me to complain about the...
