Candidates Forum update

I pulled together a nonpartisan committee, in efforts to sponsor our own forum. A meeting room was reserved; however, since the candidates have not shown any interest, the reservation will be canceled on Monday.

The committee felt that the current crop of cronies have nothing to gain by it. They are all on the same page and there is nobody with a substantially different educational outlook to challenge them. Why would they subject themselves to hard questions when they feel they don't have to?

Since this is only a primary election for school board directors, a lot could change in time for the General Election. This would give Independents a chance to step forward and challenge the status quo.

Many thanks go to the committee. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.
