(Saybrook Township, Ohio) Construction at the 123-acre Lakeside High School in Saybrook Township has been halted until June 30 at the earliest because a pregnant endangered bat was found near the school property. Now officials from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plan to discuss the matter. While waiting for the plan to discuss the matter to be implemented, the halt in construction may increase the cost anywhere from $40,000 to $800,000. Understandably upset, U.S. Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Madison, has called on all responsible parties to get moving.
"A $44 million project (is) being held hostage by one pregnant bat," said LaTourette. "I can't believe local officials have to wait 10 days for a meeting."If anyone wonders why education costs are so high, it's a multitude of variations of the pregnant bat problem. At least they'll be left with possibly a most interesting school mascot. The Lakeside High School Pregnant Bats! Woo-hoo! Go, team, go!
