I commend her for being willing to come forward to fix the train which is off the tracks. She is more knowledgable of the budget than most at CMS. Maybe she can reduce the waste so we can get teachers a raise?

CMS TV every other Tuesday night at 6:00 curled up with a bowl of Fruit Loops and a liberal glass of chardonnay. A Top 10 nationally ranked school board starring Vilma, Larry, Molly, Coach, George, The Reverend, The Hamburgler and later joined by The Pandering Dunderhead. What a cast of characters. "Is anybody listening? Does anybody care?". And I suppose all good things must come to an end. Amen. <br /><br />Stayed tuned to next week's County Commissioner meeting. <br /><br />CMS School Board 2013? Sanity, Stability, Staying the Course (SSS in educational acronym speak).

When it is more important to support the next best wave of your personal friend's program instead of teaching the basics and insuring that every child receives a basic, sound education every day...nothing will change.

They are experts in character assassination and inciting the government dependents, the low information voters. <br /><br />Maybe everyone is willing to watch this school system go into the sewer. You see already how out of whack it is with the demographics of this county. You see already the high level of FRL fraud that no one seems to care about. Just another sign of the degeneration of this county, its politicians and the addicted government dependents.<br /><br />Addicts never know they are down the wrong path.

Why fight for what you believe in, when you are doomed from the get-go! Just look at how the CO relentlessly batters the governor and both legislative bodies, not just through their editorial coverage but also through story placement, the slanted wording of headlines, the angles they choose to cover. And look at the commenters--the same half dozen ultra liberals saying the same thing over and over to each other day after day.
