    The two incumbents are now unseated. A political lesson learned (maybe). This is what happens when you don’t listen to the people. This is what happens when you don’t have the stones to stand up to the school board and government. Aka… our school closings. You two as trustees failed. Now good bye. Don’t bother to aplogize and expect a free pass or that we the people will forget around election time. Hopefully fresher newer ideas will benefit the whole area.
