Letter To
The Editor
Continued…
As I recall, Julie told me it was a
lot of work, but as I cleaned the school at night I couldn’t be on the
school board when I was scheduled to clean the school.
However, when I left the school in 2011, this opened a window of
opportunity for me to put my name in and run for school board.
I have been unable to win with the same school board members constantly
running every year, until 2017.
This year, there were 2 openings and
only myself and Michele Brown put our names on the ballot.
So, I figured I had a good chance of winning; and as such had an
obligation and duty to serve three years of my time to the school
and the people of Barnstead; and to be present at all meetings to vote.
I would never disappoint the people of Barnstead
by not serving the full three year term, or missing board meetings, or
by being a fraud by promptly resigning immediately after winning a seat
on the school board. Nor would I commit fraud by having the
deceptive motive of winning an election, and quitting so the school
board could pick who they really want; someone with the same views; or
perhaps same political party affiliations as the board members.
I
also wouldn’t go on the facebook page of the Barnstead NH
Community Group as a school board member, especially if I myself was not
running for re-election, and tell voters who I myself was voting
for nor ask the voters to vote for these same candidates, which is
election fraud!
