Far be it from me to jump back into the fray just before another crucial election so I?’ll be brief.

Please review the postings in the past made by Mark W. Uher. Please review the content, victims and most importantly, the timing.

Drs. Rigelman, Pepper, et al, please don?’t justify his remarks with a response. He is no different than some poor washed-up, out of the spotlight celebrity who appears on these ?“reality shows?”. He is so starved for attention that there is nothing he won?’t say or do to get it.

Please, faithful readers and contributors to this forum, please ignore him.

Welcome Back

Soap Box --

Welcome back. Just a quick question ... are you advocating that the board majority not answer the public questions and not involve the public in school board business? Or is it just my questions they should not answer?

What is the board majority doing to contain costs at the new facilities? What is their plan for equal facilities? Is there a board finance committee? Why did the majority exclude public input into the FY 04 budget before they voted on it? Why have they not posted the FY 04 budget by line item? What is their three year financial projections?

Soap Box ... are you not interested in the answers to those questions?

What did the last majority do ??


Where were your questions before this $77M levy passed ??

Oh, I forgot, you wanted it to pass! What's changed? Debbie, Lori & Larry wanted this & did not have the approval of Bruce & Gail.

They are now left with making sure this extravagance stays on or under budget. It's the lack of credibility that the School Board carefully manages our money & a crooked City Council that can take credit for what happens tomorrow at the polls.

These facilities could have been built for millions less - where were you prior to this passing? And we could have the Elementary Schools we need now. The majority of Sanders, Sigman & Callier are also responsible for minimum millage which we will all regret once it kicks in. Where are your comments on that Mark?

If you are going to make a million postings at least give credit where it is due.

If you have a personal vendetta against some Board Members - take it off line - we're not interested.

Just fact & keep them accurate !!

Fire the School Board Majority

I thought that I would quote Jesus V. Garcia III letter to the editor: ''... (majority) should be fired and new people, who really want the school to survive, elected. (They are) not representing our interests (and) they waste money.''

Sorry, Mr. Garcia wasn't talking about former school board members ... but was talking about Monhollen, Oakes & Rigelman.

And, neither was Charles M. Clark when he wrote: ''the extravagant and outrageous spending by (board) leaders on recent construction projects. Have you seen the new Refugee Road Acropolis...?'' Sorry that comment too was directed at Monhollen, Oakes and Rigelman.
