[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most boards are volunteer positions that get stipends.  The county council is not a board.  [/quote]

Soooo...you are in the "we shouldn't complain, because, after all, they are only a board, not full time or anything" camp?[/quote]

They have full time jobs and the county is paying one good money.  They knew it was basically a volunteer job and choose to do it.  Don’t like the pay, don’t go for it.  [/quote]

Soooo...you are in the "I don't want to pay for what I expect, but I'll keep complaining, anyway" camp?

Or, maybe, the "what I really want is for my idle, independently wealthy associates to be elected in numbers great enough to control the board, so I don't want to attract the competent opposition that might be drawn to run for BOE if reasonable compensation were to be in play for the time needed to do the job well" camp?[/quote]

Who is competent who would run if paid more?   Money is not the issue.  [/quote]

This is a ridiculous argument. Are you seriously a list of people who are saying they would run if the compensation was increased before you would support the initiative?

Money and time is absolutely a huge barrier for why many school board races are not competitive.[/quote]

No, it’s not.  Money is not the reason why. [/quote]
