To the Editor:

Regarding the article titled “LBI Board of Ed Adopts Budget, With Tax Bump” (5/11), it seems to me that spending by this board never comes to an end.

If this board reduced some of the attorney fees, along with a lot of other fees pertaining to the issue of possible consolidation of two schools into one, which has been ongoing for the last six years, there wouldn’t be a need for a tax increase.
