So
many of you have been checking in lately we guess it’s time to ramp MW back up.
We stayed out of all the shenanigans last spring, since our original goal was
to share info about trustees and candidates prior to the last BOT election. So
THAT went well.
Here
we are, with three seats open. Will this election be a game-changer, or bring
more of the same? As much as we hope for a breath of fresh air, we predict same
old same old.
Nothing better (more influential, high-profile, or interesting) has come
along for Mr. Poshard, so we predict he will run for the seat he was appointed
to. Trustee R. Hancock was overheard saying to a variety of people that the
board “had to” choose Mr. Poshard, since he helped them pass various bond
schemes when he was a legislator. We can’t figure out why he wants to get down
in the mud with this crew, but the allure of public office seems irresistible.
Mr.
Brewer was overheard last spring saying 40 years was enough and that he was not
going to run again. If only. Where else could he experience the sanctity of the
closed session? (NOTE: the person who posted the video of his ridiculous
statement has been fired, after the administration pulled off some clever
maneuvering to dismantle the union which protected her.) But really, does
anyone think he wouldn’t have just as much influence as a private citizen (they
are hiding Mr. Peterson somewhere, but his blueprint is still being followed
despite mounting evidence that his absurd plan for saving the college from
itself is a complete disaster)? So who cares, really?
And
Ms. Hancock. Like Ms. Graff, pretending to support the beleaguered teachers,
but in the end voting lockstep with the evil cabal of Mr. Brewer, Mr.
Rendleman, Mr. Kilquist, and her bro-in-law (and father of JAL administrator) Mr.
Hancock. So again, who cares, really? Except her nephew?
Do you
know someone who is running? Please post! Tell us where to send money!
