I'm sure you know better than the rest of us. I'm just a parent with two kids in the DougCo school system, but facts are facts, and the "Dream Team" you support has been guilty of misrepresenting the situation in our schools. That's not to say there aren't any problems that need to be addressed, but I believe it's the Elevate slate will deal with them most effectively--and honestly. And if you're concerned about "politically-motivated" candidates, why are you voting for people who have received $600,000 from a national teacher's union? Smacks of politics to me. I'll stick with Mills, Scheffel, Abresch and Nelson, thank you.
