I am a taxpayer in Forest Park with an 8-year-old child which is now attending private school because of the level of education that is being offered in my city. I will work to improve the caliber of education in my area in order for me to be happy to enroll my child and become a proud parent that will put bumper stickers on my car that reads, "Proud Parent of a Forest Park Honor Student".

It is time for citizens be granted an abatement on the high taxes. The taxes we pay do not balance with the level of education our children are receiving.
