Never said I was a victim, Misty. Your acid tongue is dripping again. Exactly the reason why I was reluctant to respond to your post. Your response vindicates my original concern. For the record, I am not your darling.
Misty,
I think I will regret responding to anything you post. I have noticed your tendency to personally attack anyone who disagrees with you. Whether you choose to hang on the word powerless is your choice. You did not answer the salient question however. It was, why would a politician be opposed to amassing more power? You made my case with Mr Davis. He is in a position to have more power and influence because he has two positions ( county attorney and board member) than if he was only a school board member.
Stepping stone, the school board positions don't pay anything. Get your foot in the door and eventually run for superintendent getting about a $70,000/yr raise.
Walton County school board members do receive pay for their service.
School bd members make 27-28k per year. Close to the starting salary of a teacher.
