A look ahead?
To the editor:
Amour Persons, the father of Congresswoman Jenna Persons-Mulicka and father-in-law to Commissioner Dave Mulicka, apparently plans to run for another term on the school board but will wait for seated lawmakers to return from Tallahassee so they can attend and contribute to his campaign launch fundraiser. The question is whether he is running on the merits of his recent tenure or on the tailcoats and funding of seated officials.
What has he contributed to improve our schools? Do you ever see him doing the work at school events, in school board committees, or just showing up for the photo-op moment and mindlessly following the dictates from Tallahassee?
Lee County deserves a visionary thinker who is not a “yes, man” for our governor. Lee County deserves board members who do not relinquish their responsibility to uphold local authority….
… something which he and many other conservatives fought to possess; well, at least until January of this year.
