Now I am even more disturbed by the bizarre actions of those in power. WOW ... look at the last four years of decisions by the incumbents running for reelection ... and David Blomstrom does not seem nearly as misguided as he did four years ago.
I am not recommending David B... but his wild thoughts certainly make one wonder about the real reasons that the gang of four is unable to make evidence based decisions.
Harium continues to scare me. David will not get elected ... but we could get another four years of Harium.
Or, trusting TfA without bothering to look at the TfA website. His fondness of repeating "Why shouldn't we hire the best and the brightest," should be posted on YouTube: underneath his face a flashing sign "Only the best and brightest, all you need is a GPA of 2.5 to apply." It would go viral!

I think we should vote for the best and the brightest candidates running.... if that happens ... Harium will not make it to the general election.
So who would determined that untrained neophyte teachers would be among the best? ... That would be Harium Martin-Morris.

Read her Municipal League questionnaire. Actually, a good way to learn more is to read ALL the questionnaires that have been submitted and available on-line. That will give a much better picture of the candidates than simply reading the list of who they endorse.
I feel like I should say that I was a strong supporter of Harium when he entered office and have talked to him many times over the past four years about a variety of issues. I have come to be very disappointed in the way he has chosen to blindly follow staff and disregard his constituents. I don't expect Board members to micromange, but I do expect them to govern. Trust but verify. I feel that Harium has abandoned that responsibility.
