Lame ducks waddling

Once again, a lame duck BOE is lined up to thumb their nose at the voters. Three of the seven commissioners will never run for public office again. Others are willing to take advantage of this situation in the hopes that voter memories will fade before they stand for aleection again. This might want to check with Dan Kelly before they place that bet.

Race based admissions or gutting SOTA and Lowell were note mentioned on the campaign trail because no candidate could be elected if they proposed these ideas.

Kelly, in spite of his incumbent advantage, favored both and lost. He also was the only candidate clearly in favore of banishing JROTC, and the candidate with the heaviest baggage from the last lame duck outrage.

There are many difficult choices that the district must make as soon as possible. The budget forecast is awful. School closures and consolidations loom. It would be appropriate for the outgoing BOE to make some tough calls for the good of the distrct and for the sake of the incoming Commissioners.

Instead they appear hell-bent on opportunistic political dithering.
