The WakeEd blog is devoted to discussing and answering questions about the major issues facing the Wake County school system. How much will the new Democratic majority on the school board do to undo the changes made by Republicans since 2009? Will the new student assignment plan be a hybrid of the last two models or primarily be a return to the use of busing for diversity? Who will replace Tony Tata as the new superintendent of the state's largest district? How will voters react to a likely request in 2013 to borrow potentially more than $1 billion to build and renovate schools?
WakeEd is maintained by The News & Observer's Wake schools reporter, T. Keung Hui. While Keung posts information and analysis on the issues, keep us posted on your suggestions, questions, tips and what you're doing to cope with the changes in Wake's schools.
So who's responsible for these misspelled campaign signs that have popped up overnight in multiple locations in District 2?
Both the campaigns of Cathy Truitt and Horace Tart are denying any involvement with the signs.
"We would have nothing to do with this," said Nelson Dollar, Tart's campaign manager. "It's not coming from Horace Tart's campaign. That's silly."
Brad Crone, who is managing Truitt's campaign, said he heard the signs were put up by a private citizen who dislikes John Tedesco.

Tedesco finds out.

I do not believe they would do that. I apologize for any potential mis representation of these candidates who ran strong and fair efforts.

I for one hope Cathy will do the right thing and won't request a runoff, but her campaigning up to this point leads me to believe otherwise! You are a winner and we will just make it official in November!
Like Columbo you are.
