I have been contacted twice by a telephone surveyor asking me what would influence my vote on the upcoming school bond election. When I ask the surveyor who paid her she said, ''the superintendents office''
This is the letter I sent to our superintendent:
Dear Dr. Klussman:
Recently I was ask to answer some questions by a telephone surveyor on your behalf. The questions seemed like a veiled attempt to figure the best way to spin a school bond request to the voters.
What would be wrong with honestly presenting us with your projections and telling us why you think you need this money, and then letting us vote on the merits as we see fit?
This survey doesn't pass the smell test, and to an average person like me, is vaguely offensive. I think a better approach would be to just tell us the truth and let the chips fall where they land. Conducting a survey to find out how to best manipulate the voting public lacks integrity.
Honesty is really the best policy, and I would hope it is what you are teaching our children. Children do learn by example.
Sincerely,
Chuck Brush
