Perry Woods files new election complaint against WSCA

For those of you who have not met Perry, you can see him in the photo on the front page of the Triangle section, wearing black, just over the shoulder of Keith Sutton - the only one smiling directly at the camera. Because, you know, its all about him.

Perry is quick to point the finger at others, but did he mention that even the candidates he is supporting/consulting for made mistakes in filing Campaign Finance Reports?

Oops, broke 2 windows with that one Perry.

Why is the $12K+ paid political consultant for Mayor Charles Meeker, taking part in the school board election. Is it because Meeker's wife is on the Board? Could it be that the "Status Quo" Board Candidates need high powered help to ensure the people don't get what they want and the power stays with the Board and Government? Could it be that he wants to make sure taxes keep going up? According to a comment he made back in June about an "Americans for Prosperity" Event, he seems to support tax increases and makes snide comments about their economic status. He says "It was not the most diverse lot. I saw 5 African Americans, 3 Indian people, no Hispanics, and only two teabags. (I think they got the message.) Most were middle age white, some young folks, but hey, they did not strike me as the elite of society, and I applaud that they took the time. I don't agree with much they support, (I mean it doesn't take a lot of political courage to oppose a tax increase,) but on occasion they make a point that makes sense, and we should always welcome dissent, and take a look."
Hmmm, I wonder. Maybe it is to make sure the money keeps rolling in from the Feds and State, their failures stay hidden behind reassignments and Wake County mandates ALL schools to Year Round.

There is nothing wrong with Diversity in schools. There is nothing wrong with Year Round Schools, as long as it is a choice. There is nothing wrong with trying to save money, as long as it is done effectively and not at the expense of educating our kids.

If we want more diverse schools, we need not to bus our kids all over the county. We need to make our communities more diverse. We need to make sure ALL of the kids are educated, regardless of "socio-economic" status. They need to have a school with a positive learning environment, quality teachers, involved parents, community support and Administrators and Board Members that are accountable to the kids, the parents and the community. We need to enrich our AG and AP students, help our most vulnerable students, provide a quality education to ALL students and prepare them for taking an active role as our future community leaders and members.

Sound like A LOT, well it is, but it CAN be done. Not divided as district against district as many of the candidates have tried to promote in their campaign attacks, but as one united County, This is a school with many diverse communities. It is OUR responsibility to educate our children. WE are ALL in this together. Parents, Teachers, Administrators, Community Leaders and most importantly, OUR KIDS. This election is about them, NOT POLITICS!

Vote to make the RIGHT change for our school system tomorrow. Vote for Malone, Goldman, Prickett and Tedesco. Put our Families and Kids First!

Whatever happened to the money raised by Dana Cope's PAC? He shut the PAC down prior to the reporting deadline, but what did he do with the money? Anybody know?
