I seem to ...This is a travesty - plain and simple. I seem to remember at a meeting at Ottawa River Elementary that Carty told some folks that wanted to talk about the schools that he did not have any input on that topic and that they would have to take their concerns to the BOE. Well, seems as though he has consistently put his $.02 in since Sanders left (or before!).<BR/><BR/>I like Robert Torres as a person, but I am rapidly losing respect for him. His waffling and bowing to political pressures is contradictory to his campaign promises when he ran for the seat.<BR/><BR/>I, too, applaud Darlene for her stance. She states her beliefs and preferences and then stands by them. That's a tough thing to do in Toledo. And if she wants to run for Mayor she will have my vote!Roohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569815196644365844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-80606163547774518412007-06-05T20:53:00.000-04:002007-06-05T20:53:00.000-04:00Just read your update, Maggie, and that is indeed ...Just read your update, Maggie, and that is indeed bizarre.<BR/><BR/>It seems kind of gutless to nominate someone and then abstain from voting for him.<BR/><BR/>Is there a double-secret TPS voting clause we don't know about?<BR/><BR/>If we keep up enough pressure in the blogosphere about <A HREF="http://thurbersthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/06/new-school-board-member.html" REL="nofollow">Robert Torres and his crazy TPS votes</A>, he will be forced to answer.<BR/><BR/><BR/>(keyword whoring to drive this up in Google search; I'll add a link from my site to this post to double the data force)historymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737866671020083030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-35395368394036258852007-06-05T18:07:00.000-04:002007-06-05T18:07:00.000-04:00Yep.

We are in agreement that this was a done deal before the charade of a vote.<BR/><BR/>While I bear no ill will toward Jack Ford - and hold out the hope that he will be a consensus-builder on a Board notorious for fractiousness - I am still disgusted with this transparent sham.historymikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00737866671020083030noreply@blogger.com
