Well, looks like you have until July 25th for candidates to file nominating petitions with the county clerk for the Edison Board of Mythomania, aka Board of Dysfunction, Board of EdDems, Board of Hoarders in November.
Unfortunately, the place has become more of a political battle between two inept leaders - Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi, aka Mr. Shi-shed and Doug 'Mr. Apethetic' Schneider, aka 'Mr. No Clue.'
From past performances, no doubt an unnecessary battle of wit between two unarmed opponents for control and a waste of everyone's time in solving the Overcrowding yet creating Ridiculous $300m School Budgets that treat the People of Edison as Cash Cows yet do very little to move the school district forward.
Geez, how bad does it have to be for you over there between the kiddies when we actually allowed the County Super to pick a replacement for a board member's resignation? What the heck does he know about what's best for our school district?
Didn't you see enough of that nonsense when Sam 'Mr. Shrink-flation' Joshi was the hand-picked Malleable Marionette of the County Powers that be? An inexperienced, ill-prepared Dem-party ladder climber who sold out the People of Edison for a chance to climb up the politically corrupt Dem-party ladder - who brings nothing with him from his non-performance time on the Edison Council but a demonstrative lack of trust and credibility from being a life-long Dem-party parasite.
So, if there's anyone who's independent out there that's not connected to either of these two leadership malfunctions, the Dem-party, Mr. Shrink-flation' and his joke of an administration, the teacher's union or have a relative working in the school district (like 'Mr. No Clue') and can vote on things without invoking the Doctrine of Necessity and can do basic math when reviewing school budgets, then now's your time to jump in.
If we don't get people on the school board that will put an end to the nonsense that goes on over there, these two malcontents will keep doing what they're doing and we'll lose another year in moving the school district forward.
Anyhoo, recognize that election time is the time to start taking back the School Board and put it in the hands of the People of Edison and Not let it remain in the hands of whichever faction of the Local Dem-party wins the latest internal power struggle.
