I've observed plenty of suburban school boards, where there was little opportunity for members to run for higher office, and it didn't make a damn bit of difference. People still used the board to grind axes and settle scores, with little regard for the children they were ostensibly serving.Jonathan Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433924194960127561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480995.post-54276049449613791832007-03-23T09:43:00.000-04:002007-03-23T09:43:00.000-04:00Hi J.P.I hope you are not upset with me because I'...Hi J.P.<BR/><BR/>I hope you are not upset with me because I'm running for more than one slot?<BR/><BR/>I'm running for six, as you may know.<BR/><BR/>As for T.C. and D.S. and Wm. P., I sorta agree with you. I'd fix it with a non-Libertarian solution. I don't think it is okay to have Pgh Public School Board Members grow in power and run for another office. They use the kids as stepping stones. That stinks. School board roles should be terminal (for a time of a few years), as it is with workers in the White House. The school board would focus on education and economy matters, not power, if they couldn't use school board dealings as a spring board.<BR/><BR/>One ideal way to get me into one race, not six, is to get you and five other of your (our) friends to stand for office for those other five slots. So, what post might you like to stand for?<BR/><BR/>I'm still in an active search for a candidate for District Attorney. And, I have a few running mates now. But more are needed.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480995.post-65284458012548747502007-03-23T09:39:00.000-04:002007-03-23T09:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
