Hey John,
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have neglected to check out your site for way too long. I won't make that mistake again. Your comments and inspiration of discourse are an excellent example of the civil discourse that is so sadly lacking in our society today. Thanks for sharing your thoughts so freely.
Interesting that all of the new candidates running are either from Crystal or Plymouth. (With the exception of Beth Sharpe, from Brooklyn Center.)
ReplyDeleteSo, I've read that Richard Brynteson did not get the the teachers' union endorsement, and that Mark Bomchill did. Does anyone know who else they endorsed? The three incumbants? I'm just curious... their endorsement has zero effect on my vote.
I wonder if for some voters the teachers' endorsement might actually have a negative effect?
ReplyDeleteCandace and JJ,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words of encouragement here and on Speed the other day. I'll try to keep up the good work. All I ask from the G2A readers are your opinions/comments, and your help to get more RAS area people reading, commenting and learning.
Christine and Sue,
I tried to find a web page for the "Robbinsdale Federation of Teachers" to look up their picks and the following did not work... (http://www.rftonline.org/)
I wrote a "congratulation and/or condolences" note to DJ because I agree that I am not sure if this is good or bad news.
All,
Is there an RFT site that can help us understand more about them, their beliefs and their actions? I would like to understand and know more about the entity and membership politics...
Also, I heard my first, "all the incumbents should be shown the door" comment. What do you think? Is the frustration over budgets, levies, taxes, closures and transitions going to play a major factor? Your rationale?
Though I may have done some things different, I think they did moderately well given the constraints they were given. Not to say I'll vote for them, but I will keep my mind open as usual.
