“ELECTION CENTRAL”: Comments On All Elections

Our thread below on the “School Board Election” is getting pretty long—200+ posts. We are opening a NEW THREAD and closing that one. This thread gives our bloggers an opportunity to comment and discuss any of the election activity and campaigns going on locally or elsewhere.

Use this new thread to continue discussing the School Board races, and also use it to add your point of view on any others.

Also, we welcome some new bloggers who have recently joined us. Debating differences of opinion is often the way to better understanding!

Let the discussions continue.

P.S.: If you have not yet voted in our Straw Poll, scroll down to “Local Elections: Complete Our Straw Poll”, click on the link and vote. Voting ends on September 3.

The thread below “It’s Official: Townley vs. Kelly” is getting very long (200+ comments). So we are opening a new thread to continue discussion and comments about the elections for County School Board. Please use this thread for future comments about the general topic of School Board elections. We are closing the original thread.

To get up to date on the School Board elections discussion, scroll down and review the thread Townley vs. Kelly.

Also, if you are interested in commenting on any of the current issues in our School System, use this thread. Some of you have e-mailed asking us to provide space to comment on the “shenanigans” that seem to be going on with certain School Board members exerting their influence to “protect” students/athletes involved in law and order discretions. There may be other education issues with impact on the elections.

Don’t forget to vote in our “School Board Straw Poll” on the thread just below this one. We will give you an update on how the voting stands on August 5. Voting will continue through September 3.
