CUSD Recall & OC GOP
Posted by: Jubal | 10/17/2007 10:05 PM
I got this note yesterday from CUSD Recall Committee leader Tom Russell:
Please see the attached press release from the Republican Party of Orange County, entitled "Republican Party of Orange County Unanimously Asks Capistrano Unified USD Trustees to Resign."
We are grateful to the 100 elected members of the Republican Party of Orange County who, this day, demonstrated true character and leadership by taking this unprecedented action of publicly calling for the resignations of the Fleming-era CUSD trustees (all elected Republican leaders), whose corrupt behavior has brought disgrace to the Capistrano Unified School District.
When this renewed effort to dump the remaining four Fleming Trustees first started, I was a mite skeptical, figuring the energy that went into the original recall might have dissipated when the three-candidate reform ticket ran the board in the November Cap Unified School Board election.
From what I hear that skepticism was unjustified, and the OC GOP request for the Fleming Trustees to resign is just the latest sign. Fleming's trial and the continuing stories of corruption, waste and bad governance are keeping the fires burning. Onward recall soldiers: Audaces fortuna iuvat!
c.a.i.r is has been named by the United States Department of Justice as a co-conspirator in the largest...
I look forward to the day when I can read about CUSD working as a team. It seems an entity this large has such potential for greatness. It is disturbing the taxpayers have been footing the bill for a school district with priorities favoring a select few. I hope all the people involved in this scandal are removed and fresh, responsible leadership put in there place.
"It seems an entity this large has such potential for greatness"
I'm sure that's what somebody said about the Soviet Union. Maybe what Capo needs is to be broken up into two or three districts.
That may be a viable option, but wouldn't the administration costs increase, causing less money to classrooms, or higher taxes?
How about both the GOP and OC DEMS joining together to support the recall of Orange Unified Trustee Steve Rocco? People cross the political spectrum agree that he does not belong in public office (see YouTube.com, search "Trustee Steve Rocco")
Board policies should be challenged. But this requires a thoughtful, clear-headed, rational minded, sane, trustee; not someone who believes Albertsons is out to get him for stealing a package of sausages in 1980.
Don't take my word; watch the videos and decide for yourself.
