School board asks for legal advice on lottery
SALISBURY — The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education is asking for a legal opinion about how much say it has in the way lottery money is spent.
But control of those funds might cost the schools their state sales tax money.
Chairman Richard Miller, who is serving his first term on the board, said he raised this question after being asked to sign off on the drawdown of about $1.5 million in lottery funds from the state.
Miller's predecessors as school board chairman signed this document every year since the lottery began in 2005. But Miller said he doesn't want to sign it if that means he agrees with the way the county plans to use the funds.
Rowan County currently pays down school bond debt with the capital expense portion of lottery money from the state.
Miller said that goes back to an informal agreement between the two boards' then-chairmen, Bryce Beard and Commissioner Arnold Chamberlain, shortly after the lottery began. He said people who witnessed this agreement have confirmed it, but he has found nothing in the minutes of the school board or county commission making that agreement official.
After some discussion, the school board unanimously voted Monday to ask for a legal opinion about what the chairman's signature means on the lottery funding authorization.
"Why do you want the school board's signature on drawing down lottery monies if we don't get any iota of consideration? Why waste my time?" Miller said.
He said he met earlier Monday with Jim Sides, chairman of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners, to talk about the issue.
Sides told Miller that if he refused to sign off on the drawdown of lottery funds, the county could hold back roughly the same amount in state sales taxes instead.
That money normally goes to the schools' capital expense fund for building projects.
"At this point, I said I thought I was being bullied and brow-beaten and had no intention of tolerating that, and we adjourned the meeting," Miller said.
On Tuesday, Sides said Miller is just "not used to somebody standing up to him."
He said bond debt must be paid whether lottery money is received or not. When the state cut the county's lottery funds in half, the county paid for the difference, raising its annual school bond debt service to $6.5 million.
Sides said he isn't speaking for the full Board of Commissioners, but counties do have the authority to use sales tax money for debt service. The decision about how to make those payments is up to the county, and so is the way it uses lottery funds.
He said it doesn't matter what the chairmen agreed to in the past, because such an agreement wouldn't be binding on future boards anyway.
"The legislature gives county commissioners the authority to decide whether the lottery money is used for current capital needs or for debt service," Sides said. "It is not a revenue stream for the schools. It's a revenue stream for the county to meet a mandate of the state to provide for the capital needs of the schools."
According to the state statute that addresses the lottery funds, counties may use the money "to pay for school construction projects in local school administrative units and to retire indebtedness incurred for school construction projects."
The county is clearly following the law as written, Sides said.
But Miller points to a paragraph that appears earlier in the statute: "In the event a county finds that it does not need all or part of the funds allocated to it for capital outlay projects ... the unneeded funds allocated to that county may be used to retire any indebtedness incurred by the county for public school facilities."
He said the system's capital needs have not been met, and the lottery money is being used to replace other capital funding rather than as an addition to it. Other parts of the statute mention situations where local Boards of Education must give their consent, so it makes sense that the school board has some say in the decision.
Miller also said that when the most recent school bond was issued in 2002, the county told the public it would raise taxes 6.5 cents to cover the cost. The voters heard this and still approved the bond referendum, but commissioners chose to levy only part of the tax increase.
Sides said the county did not have a public mandate to raise taxes 6.5 cents, because that wording was not included on the ballot. Commissioners found other ways to pay the cost with responsible budgeting, he said.
At the school board meeting Monday, the board also agreed to ask about the legal implications of the county withholding sales tax money.
Miller said the board chairman's signature on a legal document should have some meaning.
School board member Chuck Hughes said it seems likely that the chairman's signature would have meaning if the board agreed to it.
"You would not be able, in my opinion, to make a commitment without board consensus," Hughes said.
Josh Wagner said he agrees that the school board should find out how much weight the chairman's signature holds.
"But even if someone comes back and says yes, it does, the county can still withhold other money in place of the lottery money," Wagner said.
Lately, he said, it seems as though no matter what the school board asks for, the county tries to take something away in return. Miller agreed.
"When is that going to stop?" Wagner said.
One of the main issues, he said, is the original intent of the lottery money. He and Miller both said that in their understanding, it was meant to add to existing capital funding, not to take its place.
Wagner said he would like to see the school board ask the state legislature why this is happening and see if there's a policy solution to the problem.
Kay Wright Norman said the law seems to contradict itself and gives a number of other intended uses of the money before mentioning debt service. She said it's probably a good idea to ask an attorney about how the lottery funds are spent and whether the school board has any say in that.
"It may not offer a solution," Norman said, "but it will give us a legal interpretation."

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Vetri-Science Glyco-Flex:
I purchased the gyco flex lll chews for my 12 yr old jack russell mix, Ariel, after she had a stroke and loss use of her hind legs. It was very difficult for her to walk so she would resort to dragging her hind legs which was terribly difficult for me to watch. At this point I contemplated getting her some wheels for her hind legs (suggested by my vet) because putting her to sleep was out of the question. Before doing that, however, i wanted to see if maybe a supplement might help her to regain her balance and walk again. I did my research and came across many supplements but found that the most positive feedback came from gyco flex lll. I purchased the 120 chews and started Ariel on them right away. After being on the supplements for a week and a half she has already started to regain use of her hind legs!!! The only con was that Ariel did not care for the taste at all (but she is an extremely picky dog lol). Nevertheless, I had to split the chews in half and coat them with peanut butter in order to coax her to eat them. I strongly encourage any pet owner whose dog has difficulty walking to buy this product. (FYI, the only reason I rated this product 4 out of 5 "paws" was because my dog didn't care for the taste, otherwise if based solely on effectiveness I would rate 5 "paws" all the way!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Easy to give daily for joint support. Simple packaging.
Great Product

Glyco-Flex is one of the top rated joint treatments among vets. There are many products out there, and you have to wonder why this one is more expensive... It is because they have combined the right ingredients in the perfect ratio to provide for the best joint support for your pet.

Overall this product has been a blessing. My sheltie was diagnosed with arthritis a year ago. We noticed she was struggling getting up and down stairs and moving slowly. The vet recommended a glucosamine supplement. Since she started taking this I've seen a change, she is running more and moving better and acting more like a younger dog again. Not only that but these are like treats and she loves them. We had tried another supplement in the past (peanut butter flavor) and she spit them out. Overall very happy and love seeing the change in my dog. The only downfall is had some accidents when starting these but seems better now that's she's been on them a month. Very pleased. :)

Great Stuff
By Rescue Mom

This stuff is great. I used to give Vetri DMG plus some for my 14 year old Min Pin. Now I just give him Glyco Flex and it works just as good in one. He runs around like a puppy, people cant beleive he is 14 almost 15. His coat is also much nicer then it used to be. I love anything Vetri Science makes.

Seemingly effective joint supplement
By sausalitoshopper
from Sausalito, CA
Started my 7-year-old large dog on these about two months ago. She doesn't have bad arthritis yet, but had recently undergone a TPLO. So, am using it as a preventitive. We've been using daily, and she eats them readily so they must taste okay. Haven't seen a tremendous difference in her movements, but again, am using preventatively.
I would buy this product again

DVD: The Walking Dead: Season 2 (18)
Saturday 25 August 2012
Andrew Lincoln's resourceful sheriff caves in yet more zombie skulls in this
gory saga that recalls the BBC's excellent apocalyptic drama Survivors, only
without the intelligence.
The main problem with zombies is that they're mind-blowingly stupid – you don't get an evil genius zombie – so the drama here stems from the human survivors: and it's the usual blend of sexual tension and sentimentality with very little wit.

Hello! My name is Ajai, pronounced "UH-Jay." Like one J. It means "invincible," and to this day, I have never been vinced. Or if I have, I don't know it.
I'm a standup comedian based in New York City. If you'll glance ever so slightly to the left, you can see a one-inch version of me in action.
I grew up in Plano, Texas, the son of Indian immigrants, the first Raj born on American soil. (I'd have been the first Varadarajan, if my dad hadn't seen fit to shorten the name to accommodate American ears.) I moved to New York to become a journalist, but my love of acting and performing guided me towards improvisational comedy, and from there I was drawn to standup, and now here we are on this website.
Please sign up for my mailing list if you want to keep up with my journey and my thoughts, such as it is, such as they are. Which is to say, entertaining if nothing else. Check the shows page for updates about upcoming shows. (That's a no-brainer there.) To get in touch, drop me a line: ajairaj at gmail dot com. Good night, and godspeed.
