I questioned the editor, J.J. Jackson. He stated Dr. Bernard has visited schools, held meetings, and has been very visible. So he didn't put in a story before the reception. Sure, a paid ad was what the Novato Advance was looking for. The school public relations department failed to take one out.
Senior citizens are a major block of voters.
At any rate you have my viewpoint as a retired Board member of the Novato Unified School District. But I do welcome Dr. Bernard and his wife Judy to Novato. Patricia Narez, the DMV manager, spoke at the Novato Planning Commission meeting when the issue of granting another summer use permit of the skateboard park was under discussion. The park will be open May 29 until September 17. Somebody is going to get killed.
