[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is great news. Frees up spots that new candidates can take with fresh ideas. Look at the success of newcomers like Laura Stewart so far for a preview of what's possible once the old timers step down![/quote]

What “success,” praytell, has Laura Stewart had???[/quote]

You should watch the BOE meetings. She’s really engaged and says a lot/asks a lot of questions. [/quote] Are we watching the same meetings? She barely sounds literate and references Star Wars entirely too frequently to be taken seriously. And I voted for her, but what a disappointment she is. I didn't realize how little education she actually has and sadly it shows. [/quote]

The thing is, I don't [i]think[/i] she's actually unintelligent. But she is horribly unconfident, nerve-wracked and not a good public speaker. Plus, she has an unfortunate habit of putting on a ditzy affect when she wants to appear likable or to soften what should be sharp and incisive commentary.

She needs serious training in public speaking.[/quote]

Public speaking either comes naturally or it doesn't.  I think she's well-meaning and trying, but up against a system that doesn't care about her or others opinions and the current BOE members dominate everything.  [/quote]

Laura Stewart IS a current BOE member.  She wasn't elected to just sit back and watch the others.  [/quote]

She is only one so if there is a vote and she’s strong enough to disagree she still cannot make a difference.  [/quote]

Well,she might as well quit then, if that's your reading of the situation. :roll: [/quote]
