He is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. First, he tells us that Fayette County is one of the poorest, most distressed counties in the country, with high unemployment and 28% of the students living in poverty. A few breaths later, he says that we have to raise taxes on these impoverished student\'s parents so that they can get out of poverty. William Earnesty

Is Mr. Krajovic insane? In one paragraph, he states, \"Fayette County is the most distressed rural county in the state, and 28 percent, or almost one-third, of Fayette County students live below the national poverty income level.\" Then in another paragraph he states, \"Krajovic said school districts could provide better education if they had more money to work with, and the county could fund economic development projects to attract businesses if it had more money.\" William Earnesty

Fayette County is the most distressed rural county in the state, and 28 percent, or almost one-third, of Fayette County students live below the national poverty income level, Krajovic said. The county\'s per capita income is lower than it is in neighboring Greene, Washington, Westmoreland and Somerset counties, he said.

Krajovic: Existing businesses have difficulty getting professional people to move to the county because of the quality of education provided by schools and businesses aren\'t interested in opening here because the county doesn\'t invest in infrastructure, he added.

Krajovic said the average school district millage in the county and the average amount of taxes residents pay per capita is less in the surrounding counties. The county\'s debt service is also the lowest, he said.

Krajovic: Politicians tell people that they\'re helping them by not raising taxes, but they\'re actually hurting people, he said.

03/21/2004 Mike Krajovic said Friday that Fayette County residents are pawns in an \"insidious game\" in which politicians get elected by promising not to raise taxes, but the lack of tax revenue has prevented schools from improving and the county from developing.
