Now Herb Booth of the Dallas Morning News has weighed in. According to Herb, the bond proposal is for $215 Million.

Steve Synder, you recall, reports it was "only" a $211 Million bond.

Anyhow. $211 Million or or $215 Million, it's BIG.

And fuzzy.

I was there. I think Herb is correct. I think Steve is carrying over a number from about 21st of August, before The School Business Group (of "scope creep" fame) added in buses, cop cars, and other vehicles to the bond package on the 28th of August. Or maybe some other $4 million dollar item was added to the wish list when Steve wasn't looking.

Gotta watch that creep. It sneaks up on you.

It'll be interesting to see what the good folks at Focus think the number should be.
