Hold up on that car wash gentlemen since we are talking about taxes. The most surprising thing to me about this whole thing is that a couple of cheese eaters from knott co actually pay taxes. But since we are talking about taxes what about the 110,000 per year over the last 4 years the tax payers have paid for Cameron Justice mom and dad's custom made job. If my math is correct that is a 440,000 the "TAX PAYERS" have paid. If you really want to break down the numbers cordia took up donations to pay for the tuition of 4 Canadian kids for a two year total of 32,000 dollars. At the same time the knott co board is accepting ADA on these kids at a rate of 7,186 per kid x 4 kids over a 2 year span that comes to a total of 43,116 dollars. That is a total of 75,116 the knott co board has made off of the lotts creek people in the last 2 years alone. So subtract the 26,000 the board paid for the fine to the KHSAA and the TAX PAYERS are still up 49,116. The Hindman crew puts the county in debt nearly 1/2 million dollars vs. the lotts creek surplus of 49,116. Get your facts straight before you run that cheese eating pie hole.

The interesting numbers would be to see how much Cordia (or Alice) has spent on legal fees the past couple years fighting eligibility for their transfer. Cordia, Lotts Creek Community School (or Alice) hired one of the largest and most respected law firms in the state (which can't be cheap) to fight for eligibility for guys, many of whom stayed in Lotts Creek less than 6 months, to never been seen again. Meanwhile, the impoverished, less-athletic children, who actually grew up on Lotts Creek, are ignored. Maybe Cordia should focus its financial resources more on academics instead of trying to have a good basketball team (with dreams of beating KCC). Their elementary, middle and high school all finished in the BOTTOM 10 of the state in test scores for 2014-2015 school year.
