[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with the OP. I can't get behind Blair and Elrich did a meh job these last few years. Will be voting for Reimer.

And for the record, I 100% agree with Reimer on getting rid of SROs. [/quote]

Do you agree with HOW the decision was made? The Board’s panel included 3 students. Just 3. No community-wide survey was used to inform decisions. People who wanted to speak on behalf of SROs weren’t able to get slots during council hearings. Principals unanimously showed support for them, but council members with zero experience within schools ignored the principals’ experience.

Police aren’t inherently bad people. Reimer would like us all believe that they are. Whether or not SROs belong in schools is no longer the issue. The issue is how he pushed through his desire without paying any respect to voices who disagreed with him. He also intentionally painted officers as an enemy. He now stands on a platform of “rebuilding the community’s faith in the police” when he is partly responsible for any eroding trust within the county. [/quote]
