I want to issue a challenge. The "NO" contingent has not posted one word here on why we should elect a superintendent over appointing one. I, and others, know they read SoWal posts. If you have reasons other than it is a "Liberal" attempt to take over the school system, which is ridiculous, please enlighten us and the public in general. The "YES" group has been very clear in deliniating why the position should be selected through required qualifications by the school board. What are your reasons for "electing". Early voting starts Aug. 16th.
Here is what I see from the opposition to the referendum- good FCAT scores are reason enough to stay status quo. Oh, and losing a right to vote. RINOS come into play somewhere, progress is a bad word. The usual scare tactics. Something about "Walton County Values". Not much logic or common sense, just the same predictable stuff, from people who play and live the Walton County politics game year round. I will say that I have learned a lot of things I did not want to know and it's not just the school system that needs an overhaul if this county is going to truly prosper and keep up. Their version of WAlton County values will hold us back for sure!
But they must really like our ads - they keep copying them!
