School Board Politics

There are some comments about the upcoming county school board election that have been woven into the comments thread on “Movers & Shakers”.

Go to that section (below), click on “comments” and scroll down to view the comments; interesting points of view being provided. We’ll just let the discussion continue there.

Movers & Shakers

We have been thinking about a question someone recently asked us:

Who is the most powerful/influential, non-elected person in Marion County?

There are many individuals in our community who aren’t politicians but are very effective in making things happen; people go to them when they have a community project or other important activity that needs to be implemented.

Who would you pick?
