Well, just heard some disturbing news that the Council is now considering moving the School Board elections back to April. Looks like the School Board doesn't have enough votes on their own to make it happen, so somebody is bringing it to the Council.
Now, remember how that works - the School Board can do it, the Council could do it and it can be done by Public petition.
Now, don't get me wrong - it was a mistake moving it to November for the very reason you see today - the Boe is a Dem-party political mess, aka cesspool. The rationale was for greater voter turnout only meant greater turnout for the Dem-party, the only party in town.
Not only did we turn the Boe over to the Dem-party but we gave up our right to Vote on Huge School Budgets (Now over some $350 million) with Out-of-Control and Misguided $pending and no effective Oversight.
There are a lot of reasons why we should move the School elections back to April but just because one-faction of the Dem-party doesn't like the results of the last election - isn't one of them. Particularly since Jerry 'ReferenDumb' Shi was finally Voted into Forced Retirement. There's someone you don't want to give an early opportunity to join the Board again.
Clearly, this isn't about what's Best for the School District, it's about which faction has Control over all that money in play.
So, let's get serious with this political maneuvering right after the recent Boe election - any attempts to move the School Board elections now should be looked upon with devious purposes and it should have to wait until 2025.
Seriously now, You clearly don't want this bunch below making decisions like this especially when they've got their own issues with oversight and checks & balances. And, not for nothing but who decided to put the township seal on the floor (and not on the wall behind the Council dais) where everyone walks all over it? That's a disturbing decision in itself.
Now don't see the Agenda for tonight's Regular Council Meeting posted yet on the website so don't know if it will show up tonight or not. But hey, there's still one more meeting left in December after Christmas.
Anyhoo, aren't you glad you live in Edison, Home of the 'Committee of the Hole' and now permanent Home of 2017 Racist Flyer?
