Patton is a smart dude.
Interesting choice of words. I was going to refrain from saying so, but I'd rather not refrain, since you brought it up. I know these people sitting on the Boards are not "dumb," but I think it would be interesting to see their IQ scores right there on the voting ballots. Don't get me wrong, I am of only average intelligence. However, I wonder if most of these people are even at this level. Perhaps intelligence has nothing to do with it. Maybe most of them just don't care. They sure seem to be going through the motions as opposed to raising real questions and concerns. Either way, they look rather "dumb" from their lack of interest. There are exceptions here and there. Tom Patton comes off looking more intelligent that the remaining Board members combined. It is a shame that most of them sit in these seats. Maybe one day soon, I'll get up there to help lead this County in a better direction.
While I am here, I send out another "that a girl" to Cindy Meadows for standing up and doing that which is right.
I am glad to have people like Cindy and Tom working toward a better tomorrow for this place that I adore. Thanks!
