| BaldEagle Saturday, April 28, 2012: 8:51 pm | Rat, you said.... "You sir conveniently left out the truth that the anti Mooresville school project crowd also backed the other two new school board members." Your comment was about who Mr. Goodwin backed and so was mine. I don't have a problem with the current board. I'm not saying I supported the school project. My comments are based on what you and others have been saying about some candidates who believed they were doing what is in the best interest of the citizens of their district. If you agree with the author of "The Whole Truth" letter to the editor then you agree, as he said, "Elected officials should be in office to exercise good judgment and make decisions based on the good of all citizens." Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Quyle supported who they thought was the best candidate for the position of school board member. Even though the position is nonpartisan they did risk some flak from their party if the candidate they supported had some democrat ties. I have no idea whether they knew it or not at the time. There are no party ties to the positions. Sure, a person would bring their own personal bias to the position. However, Goodwin and Quyle were supporting who they believed to be the best school board member and not what served their best interest. I assumed that's what you support if you agree with Mr. Wagoner. But, you sir, bash a guy because he didn't serve his own political interest first. How ironic. I'm not interested in nitpicking. If you don't get the point, just move on. I would guess many others get it. |

I didn't say or even imply that. |

Qualifications are what "education and experience" a candidate brings to the table. The nonpartisan school board candidate Mr. Goodwin supported holds a bachelor degree, was a member of Morgan County Planning Commission, and is associated with a unique non-profit educational facility which educates special needs children. The opponent was a high school graduate. The school board had to approve the project before a vote by the public could proceed. By law, the school project had to be voted on by the public, which it was. Although it can be messy at times, that is true democracy. Apparently some don't want the public to have a direct say in the matter. |

The inconvenient truth the Ratcatcher left out was that it was a School Board position which is NONPARTISAN. We can discuss the candidates qualifications in that race if you want to go there. The winner of the race won because the anti Mooresville school project crowd backed him. Certainly wasn't because of his qualifications. |
