I encourage everyone to take time out of your busy schedules and become informed about the candidates who run for office. There is a severe problem with unethical people serving you and your hard earned tax payer money. The honesty, integrity & principles are simply missing in these people. It doesnt matter how smart or likable they are. It matters if they choose to SERVE the public for the BETTERMENT of SOCIETY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OUR CHILDREN. People like Tony Bennett, Travis Haire, Larry Wilder, Christina Gilkey, Vicki Lete, and others, plus the people like Larry Wilder who have served in County Offices, as well as, the Greater Clark School Board and Administration are white collar criminals.(not all of them) Get the ones who are...O-U-T. THE FOCUS SHOULD BE ON THE CHILDREN,,,,not these people who are there for prestige, power, self profit & other unethical reasons...(Thank you Dave Kraft for the commentary in the Gazette & Tribune). The School Board (not everyone) and Superintendents have not been qualified for quite some time in Greater Clark. We are seeing live coverage in the news over time. Indianapolis has never looked at Southern, Indiana... BUT, even INDY has an eye turned South! Many people are asking,What the heck is going on down there? There have been so many board members & school administration officials who lack honesty and leadership qualities, It is showing in our schools and the emphasis is on the school administration and school board. Its not good! These people are not quality candidates. So many of us have little time to vote between hard work, children and inflexible schedules, YOU MUST BECOME INVOLVED, get registered and vote, YOU CAN make a difference in getting these people out of office.THE LACK OF ETHICS IN THE CULTURE AND IN THE COMMUNITY STANDARDS MUST BE CHANGED. Even when they commit unethical acts, there are few sanctions placed on these people and they dont step down unless forced (which is rare). They have no pride and no conscience. They just continue on in their same positions. You have a right to speak at the school board meetings to voice your concerns and also the city council.. Take the time to do this. YOU can make a difference in the life our children in the GCCS school system and the communiy! if you need help getting registered, call city hall or contact me. Ill help you. Unfortunately, there are people on the board who are honest like Nancy Kraft and others. It is an embarrassment for the honest people to have to work with these white collar criminals. ITS YOUR JOB TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND PUT THEM OUT OF OFFICE AND DEMAND RESIGNATIONS IF THEY DISHONOR THEIR POSITIONS. THEY REPRESENT YOU! I have a long lineage of politicians in my family and none of them...NOT ONE....were like these people serving you and your family in Clark County Indiana. My family includes a KY Supreme Court Justice, a (D) KY State Senator,A FIVE term (R) State Representative, a (R)TWO term State Representative, a twenty seven year Democratic Party Chairman for Bullitt County, a retired General from the Pentagon, three Navy Elite Black Op Seals.& even more...
