Your View: Dorchester Two's Referendum

The decision to place . 

Here are the opinions of four non-incumbent school board candidates running this year:

"We need more classroom spaces no question about it … Folks have expressed some concern to me regarding the aquatic center, I would question that but we do need more classroom space." ~ Samuel Clark

I would have voted the same way as they voted last night. I like the way the question was worded … It allows the overall referendum to go through and then the aquatic center is an add-on piece that can be voted on separately … We have to get that referendum through. Our schools are really overcrowded right now, or else we're going to reach a breaking point where we start hindering the education of our kids. ~ Justin Farnsworth

"It's something that needs to be done. We don't see another way of getting money than having a referendum on the homeowners and property owners. In order for us to keep this community as viable as it is, we have to keep the schools up." ~ Harry Blake

"Considering the condition our schools are in, it's a fair way to do it — put it on the ballot" ~ David Dubose

Candidate Louis Smith could not be reached via telephone or email.
