Subject: Which is it?
In the June 23 edition of the Chatham Record, there is a letter to the editor from Cathy Wright, Chairman of the Chatham County Republican Party that states, in part, “The Chatham Board of Commissioners recently passed a budget …[that] does not raise property taxes or reduce funding to core priorities such as schools…”
In the same issue, on page 1, there is an article with the headline SCHOOL SYSTEM FACES CUTS, which states some 29 positions will be lost.
Is there not a contradiction here? If funding is not being reduced, why is the School System losing positions?
