Get registered, vote in recall election

| July 19, 2023 1:00 AM

Not since World War II has this community been this united. It took the attack on Pearl Harbor to unite us then. The attack on our public school system has united us now.

By now, we are all aware of the turmoil caused by three WBCSD board members. They hired a superintendent, who is not qualified for the job. Community members and others worked hard to pass the levy; they did not. Their arguments for their actions are not based on facts. Simply put, it’s garbage.

The war will be won or lost at the ballot box. A total of 5,498 eligible voters did not bother to vote during the levy election. We needed only 106 more votes to carry the levy. Any effort by these three WBCSD board members to support the levy probably would have made the difference. We need you, the reluctant voter. We need to end the turmoil.

So you have plenty of time. Get registered to vote, it is not that difficult. Then, get out and vote Aug. 29 for zones 2 and 4, which are the zones that are recalling their board members.

There is a lot at stake here. Get out and vote and let's "get it done.”
