GENEVA – Geneva High School science teacher Tom Anderson was unanimously appointed to the Geneva District 304 Finance Advisory Committee Monday, despite some reservations from a member of the public.

District resident Sandra Ellis, who also belongs to the taxpayer watchdog group TaxFACTS, questioned the board’s choice of a district employee instead of a member from the public with financial expertise.

“It’s hard to perceive that [he] could have unbiased input, such as questioning the tax levy or an expenditure,” Ellis said. “This is not the proper choice.”
