Three hours later, here I am again. Urgh. I am so tired. Lets see if I can do a couple before I have to get ready and go to work… For School board the candidates are:
* Larry E. Hughes
* Harold Parten
One of them with a website again. Good. And I found this PDFwith information on a lot of candidates, including these two. And of course, Florida Today. And an article about a debate for school board. And there were actually a few more. But this is enough…
Frankly, on their viewpoints on the various issues, there did not seem to be much difference. They agreed on more than they disagreed. A little more looking around and it seems that Parten is the one that has been endorsed by teacher’s unions, which makes me a bit nervous. Based on previous experience, I don’t usually trust the teacher’s unions. But it looks like Parten has a lot more experience and has an educational background, which has pros and cons, but I think the pros outway the cons. It is good to be an expert in the field you are dealing with as a public official. I do not feel strongly about this one and could actually fall either way. But Parten also had the sense to have a website.
My vote: Harold Parten
