Ignore misinformation; vote for recall

| August 23, 2023 1:00 AM

Those against the recall do a really good job of passing misinformation through the rumor mill to rile people up. There are some so absurd that it's like me saying, I have waterfront property in North Dakota for sale.

Mama bears, Papa bears, and our community are aware of your tactics. We have done our research.

On video, Vice Chair Susan Brown said there was a million dollars in a secret account, which turned out to be incorrect. A few weeks later, it was announced at a school board meeting that the county collected unpaid property taxes in June and were given to the district in August. Susan Brown needs to do the right thing, admit she was wrong, and put this behind her.

On video, there was a quote from a school board agenda item. Trustee Troy Reinbold voted with Trustee Margaret Hall and Trustee Carlyn Barton. Chairman Keith Rutledge abruptly turned his head to the right side to stare down Trustee Reinbold with disapproval. Trustee Barton brought the agenda item back for discussion, and Trustee Rutledge asked for a re-vote. This time, Trustee Reinbold voted with Rutledge and Brown. Three to two vote again this was bullying and intimidation.

Please join me in voting yes for the recall Aug. 29.
