How much more do we need to hear about the false impression the local fish wrapper and Chamber of Commerce has been promoting until we take back the BOE and finally have them serve the people who pay the taxes to fund this monstrosity?
First we get Nancy Roche to admit that she only wants "informed" people to vote on SPLOST and bond issues.
Then we get Paula "Nationwide Search" Gault boasting about how 11% of registered voters is a mandate of support for the special election for a $170 million bond.
School start times get changed without any input from parents, and no real facts to back up the change.
Now recently we get a report saying that maybe, just maybe, our school system is not all that it is touted to be, with test scores and graduation rates below all our neighboring counties.
All this in the middle of an admission today that maybe we aren't spending the minimums recently set by the state on students (big surprise there!), all while the BOE spend more on themselves than any other school system in the state.
And finally, we get Ann Crow to admit to me two weeks ago that she is going to vote for the special election in September for SPLOST because "the board can't afford to have the vote fail." In other words, she is willing to rig the timing of the election to ensure it's passage.
Pathetic.
I'll be speaking about this travesty at the local GOP meeting on Tuesday night on the 11th, so that we can get a call to action on all these shenanigans with rigging our voting process. These people are unbelievable in their arrogance.
