Shakopee ISD 720 has joined the city of Shakopee and Scott County in having aid payments withheld by the state. Superintendent, Dr. Robert Meyer, confi rmed that the district didn’t receive its $480,000 check for the month of December. If the state decides to withhold more aid next month, Meyer said the district will begin studying the possibility of borrowing on anticipated tax revenues to make ends meet. There is a possibility that at least one out of every 11 Shakopee homes has a potential “time bomb” sitting in the basement utility area. That “time bomb” could be a liquid propane or natural gas water heater, Shakopee Building Inspector LeRoy Hauser stated. If Shakopee is to become the tourist center that some people say it has the potential to be, city businesspeople, government officials and residents will have to work together to promote the city and its environs as a package.
