OUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TUESDAY’S SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION

We at the Blog recommend that anyone who is concerned about the current fiscal mismanagement practiced by the Mount Pleasant School District Administration and the School Board, consider voting NO on the proposed Budget.  It seems that the proposed Budget contains substantial increases, and is being used to obtain funding that the District could not gain through two Bond proposals that were overwhelmingly defeated by the PEOPLE.  The Budget as proposed is not fiscally responsible and does not make the best use of your tax dollars.  We suggest that this Budget be voted down on Tuesday, and that the Budget be revisited once the new Board is in place; hopefully with new, independent, fiscally responsible individuals holding seats on the School Board.  The waste must be cut from the Budget and the current members of the School Board seem reluctant to take that action.

If you don’t want to give the School Board a new supply of blank checks that will be used to further waste your taxpayer dollars, the PEOPLE must vote to DEFEAT THE FISCALLY UNSOUND BUDGET and against Guiney’s hand-picked candidates. Supporting any of Guiney’s candidates will maintain the status quo, and allow the Board to continue its policy of wasting your money without any improvement to the children's educational experience.

If you want fiscal watchdogs on the School Board, who will protect your tax dollars from previous wasteful spending policies; and, if you want individuals on the School Board who have not been corrupted by the Guiney Administration, and would bring integrity to a School Board that sorely needs it - Vote for Cathy Tully and Peter Peale ONLY.  (Note:  While you are allowed to vote for three candidates at the polls, please consider not voting for any of the Guiney candidates.  Send a clear message that you do not support Ms. Guiney or any of her “cronies”.  Please vote for ONLY Tully and Peale – simply cast two votes and the message will be sent.)

The effort that Ms. Guiney and her followers have expended during the campaign in attacking, bullying and harassing the two independent candidates, Tully and Peale, in an effort to scare them off and defeat them, should tell you all that you need to know.  Why would the Guiney Administration fight so hard against the newcomers, if they weren’t extremely credible, well qualified opponents?  The answer is that Guiney and company are afraid of what would happen should the two independent candidates be elected.  Guiney and friends realize that if these two candidates, who have true integrity and the PEOPLE's best interest in mind, were to win, it would be the end of business as usual in the District.  All the dirty laundry would be aired.  That's the reason that Ms. Guiney and her friends are doing all in their power to prevent the election of these two candidates, who the PEOPLE so desperately need on the Board.   

 
Vote NO on the overpriced, bloated and wasteful Budget; Vote YES for Cathy Tully and Peter Peale for the School Board!!
