The Common Sense Candidate
In the recent School Board primaries there was a lot of talk about “incumbents” and newcomers. Here are some points to consider: Kathy Van Eerden has been on the board for 9 years. In that time she has voted for a minimum of 15 levy increases either via referenda or yearly tax increases. And what have we received? Five years of declining test scores. ACT results below state and national averages and falling (on a 3 year decline). As for Lynn Corazzi – can you even use the term “incumbent”? Corazzi lost his election bid for School Board. He was not elected; he was selected to fill a vacant seat. Selected by the board. Selected by the administration. Rejected by the citizens of West Bend. If these are the “incumbents,” maybe it is time for some “newcomers” who will actually be elected by and representative of the electing citizenship.
