Voter turnout is always low in Allen but overall I still think it represents the majority (scientic data of polls prove time and time again). The people have spoken. Good luck to all.

Ye speak too soon! The out-of-town residents were in Parker. They opposed the ORIGINAL WELL-THOUGHT out plan for the bus barn. They won over the board. Happy now? That's who I was talking about.

I don't see much respect for Obama. His position higher than our School Board? Since when is attacking their status-quo-do-nothing attitudes a sign of disrespect? Enough of the hero bit. That kind of crap is what landed us in all of this mess.

Jeremy, where's your last name? We all operate under 'screen names'. Chill. Until you hold your board members to a higher standard (voter apathy is HORRIBLE in our town) we'll stay messed up.



I’ll try to word this a little differently so that you can understand. My name is Jeremy Hayes. I was the person who organized the opposition to the original location. I am a resident of the city of Allen. [… break to let this soak in…] The residents in Parker, the few there were, worked with me to successfully have it moved. Their children go to Allen ISD schools, they pay Allen ISD taxes, and the location was actually in the City of Parker. [… break to let this soak in…] I guess you can you can say that those “out of town residents” were protesting against the bus barn located in their town.

What on earth does this have to do with Obama now? Let’s try to stay on track regarding the School Board election and not throw out the first random thought that crosses your mind. The disrespectful part is how you keep calling VRS “The Queen” and saying everyone must kiss her ring as well as saying the departing board members are running away from tough decisions.

Just in case you didn’t catch what I previously alluded to… my screen name is my name. So no… we don’t all operate under screen names. Just those who like to throw out rude comments that they don’t want traced back to them. Any comment I make… people know who is saying it.

By the way… do you really think that they original location was actually well thought out? I’m assuming by well thought out you mean not near your home.

Also… I’ve shared my name… what is your name? Or will you remain anonymous to keep making nonsensical and rude posts?




So of course you like the new location. The new barn doesn't affect me one bit you accuse others of being motivated by that one issue and that's the same reason why you got involved. And now your sarcasm? You said we should treat those with respect who 'give up their time to serve'. Obama served. Carter served. We've had bad school board members and superintendents serve. It's disrespectful to complain about them?

We own the Chase Oaks Golf course. That was brilliant on behalf of the City. Yes, we almost had the barn in Parker, too. Brilliant work but we bowed out to pressure from out-of-town residents. Apparently the board thought it was the right choice SINCE that's where they planned on it being. That's the point. They can't make up their minds sometimes. I wouldn't want them as a CEO of a company I own. That's what board members are, CEO's. Enough of the sarcasm. You got your barn moved and now mock those who fight the same one you fought. Shameful.

And Jeremiah, I would never share my name on a board. Too many crazies out there. I'm surprised you've gotten away with a lot of the personal attacks. I'm not a school board member (body of members) or celebrity and the legal system and the rules of this forum protect us from such (attacks).



Just from observation, I would say you came on a little stronger than necessary to begin with on this subject. Yet, you are pointing fingers at someone who has not stated anything with a manner of attacking. Where is what you claim to be an attack against you?

Also, you said you would never share your name on a board. "Too many crazies out there." Since Jeremy gave his name as Jeremy Hayes, where did you get Jeremiah from? Who's the crazy one now since you addressed him differently than he initially stated?

I'm glad the election is over. Now, we can look forward to Allen progressing according to how voters responded...

CP,
I'm also glad that the election is over. I'm assuming that he called me Jeremiah because he moved from warning of crazies, to being one of those crazies, to being a stalker by either looking me up in a phone book or assuming most Jeremy's are actually Jeremiah. The same as Mike is usually Michael. Either way I see that regardless of what I say or how I say it nothing will be resolved so I am stepping back. I have never attacked anyone in this forum and if it was taken that way then I can assure you it was not meant that way. I'm not sure where he is getting that from but he is free to interpret anything I say however he wants. So… if he wants to throw out a passive threat toward me by showing he can read a phone book and find out small public details about me then so be it. If he is willing to do that then I can assure you he really has no idea who I actually am.

Congrats Jason, Carl, and Susan…

I’m especially impressed that Susan was able to swing 100% of the votes…
