In response to Jeremy
There is another article in the Allen American this morning, as well as on their website, about the candidates. This one is from the Tea Party forum last Thursday. Two things mainly stuck out to me while reading this.
1. Rona is really focusing on the debt issue. That is not at all a bad thing… but it seems it has her complete focus. Every answer she provided included the word debt.
Here is my favorite example:
Allen American: What each candidate would change to improve education without raising taxes was the next topic of discussion.
Zafari said the district has a great educational system, but expressed concern with regard to the district's debt.
"Again, my concern is the debt that we currently we have, which is going to affect each student individually," she said. "How it's going to affect them, that's something we have to sit down with the board and talk about."
Seems kind of like the Nancy Pelosi Health Care response when she said “We need to pass it to really see what is in it.”
2. The next part of the article I thought was interesting was in regards to board meetings.
Allen American: The candidates were then asked how many board meetings and workshops they had attended in the past year -- or, in the case of Shepard, how many meetings they have missed as trustees.
Zafari said she has been too busy as a full-time insurance agent and mother to attend but watches them online.
I find it hard to believe that once she is on the board it will be any easier or less time consuming.
Regardless of who you vote for at least make you voice heard and vote.
Allen American: Early voting will continue from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through May 5 and from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on May 7 and 8. Polls will be open on Election Day, May 12, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. All voting will take place at the Allen Municipal Court building, 301 Century Parkway.
