[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the construction "updates" have very little information. I would expect an email explaining that they got way ahead of themselves and made us all think this was a done deal when it clearly was not. My bigger point is the lack of responsible management this has demonstrated. After all of this, [b]I certainly don't trust the school board, city council members or anyone running for those positions.[/b]
Council members and School board and City Council candidates all keep repeating the same talking points on their facebook pages, etc., yet I am yet to see one candidate or local politician demand the explanation from the school board for why the heck this happened. This is what the taxpayers deserve.  [b]I am yet to see a strong candidate emerge[/b] for any of these positions in the fall and this issue and the candidate's reactions to it have solidified that for me. Same old self interested people showcasing the same old political song and dance under the guise of "I am different than the rest- I am a citizen first." They are all politicians.[/quote]

Why don't you trust people running for School Board or City Council? You're right about there not being a strong candidate yet, but they all just declared last month for an election in November. Some have nascient campaigns started, but others are still polishing their platforms. And putting together fundraising plans. It unfortunately costs $12K or so to run a local campaign in FCC ... News Press ads, web sites, lawn signs ...

If you really don't like what you're seeing in the candidate field, you should run next year. But don't bi#c* about it on an anonymous forum.

That said, I agree that the construction update emails aren't useful. But click through to the Q&A and there's more detail.

Finally, just because the candidates you don't know and council and school board members you're not contacting aren't publicly calling Dr. Jones to the mat for explanations, don't think it's not happening behind the scenes.[/quote]
