RE: [Mpls] School Board Incumbents Must Go

[Brionna Harder]

I believe that the school board votes both for hiring Ms. Peebles and for 
approving her contract were unanimous votes.  (I could be wrong, but the 
board meeting minutes for the June and July meeting are not on the website 
yet.)  I also read somewhere (the Strib?) that the board had not seen the 
full contract before the vote and only had the documents they received for a 
few hours before the vote.  I wonder how truly educated about the contract 
the board was when they voted.

Ouch.  I can understand your distaste for the inadequacies of this recent 
decision, but try to find out who of the incumbents voted against this and 
keep them.  Toss out the rest.

I do have some anarchistic tendencies and think term limits are a good 
thing.  That and considering the ineptness of our government bodies right 
now to work for the people, maybe every elected official needs tossing out 
right now.

I want to believe that this was not unanimously voted on by the board, but 
I may have missed something along the way.  Can anyone fill us in on what 
board member voted what way?

Or maybe my perspective just needs to be adjusted.  Instead of believing
in the good of civic-minded citizens and politicians, and expecting high
ethics and morals, I should realize the system has been, is and always
will be corrupt and greed-centered.  Then I can simply focus on getting
my share of the public trough, and when I start cashing my six-figure
government checks, I can say, "Well I got mine; screw the rest of you all."
