It is still a failure for the Brighter Group, just as it was for the last three elections. Four failures out of four times certainly indicates their plans and proposals are a giant failure. When they conspired to throw all the people opposed to them off the so-called community committees, that was the end of this bond vote.
Revised vote count as of 3 pm 2-8-08
The final count slightly decreases the percentage of the yes vote and shows clearly that the community was nearly split 50% pro and con. It is clear Distaso's Brighter Group's bond ideas are a total failure.
At the 8-7-08 school Board meeting a group of bond supporters submitted a petition demanding the Board submits this again to the voters in June. This shows teachers and administration wasted hours of educational time getting students to sign the petition.
Its clear the teachers and the administration are electioneering to support the bond in total violation of state law and of reasonable standards. The idea that we, the taxpayers, should pay another $100,000 for the cost of the same junk bond election in June, when they lost four in a row, is unacceptable.
We need to design a good school project with a financing method that would meet broad approval.
Distaso's Brighter Group on the school board, which is an oxymoron, need to resign now and let other community members run the school.
