>BOE Elections : the people who come out to vote in the spring are the only ones who actually know what they’re voting for and care.
People can twist this to suit their own arguments and spin it any way they want, but they can’t get around the fact that the people who come out to vote in the spring are the only ones who actually know what they’re voting for and care.
The vote is about money and yes, it’s also about how the money is spent. It’s about who will serve us best on the board and sometimes it’s about what certain “groups” want. I don’t agree with some of those groups and do agree with others, but “special interests” are in fact a real part of voting, in November as well. People who care should come out and vote. If you feel a group is getting the upper hand, then motivate others to vote. But none of us need more ignorant opportunists who just push the buttons closest to their party designation. Diluting the budget and BOE vote with that serves no good purpose.
