Educational Forum

Yesterday, the News-Times editorial board interviewed both candidates for Mayor. You can read the story here. However this post is going to focus mainly on the forum that took place the other night at Roger's Park between the mayoral and Board of Education candidates.

Overall, I felt that it was a good event that gave the public good insight on the views of the candidates. Overcrowding was the big issue that dominated the debate, whereas other issues such as No Child Left Behind and planning for the future were brought up as well.

All but three candidates running for the school board were there. Absent were Democrats Rachel Austin and Chairperson Susan Podhajski, as well as Republican Christiane Santos Hernandez. All candidates present answered different questions, but many were similar in some way.

It was a good opportunity for voters, especially ones with students. The City Wide PTO did a nice job. For those who couldn't make it, the event will air on Comcast on Saturday.

Hmm...

Still no post on the Galante-Boughton contribution?

Still no comment on the RACIST emails from Pauline Basso and Joel Urice.

Your TWO posts on Democrats at the Danbury 11 case is becoming crystal clear now.

C'mon CTblogger, it's Friday. Just relax, man. Those emails were not racist, you know it. Try opening your mind and step away from the SIMPLE two party template.

The dirty politics attempts by the Dem's shows how cruel they can be. There is no need for hatred in Danbury. I'm glad the majority agrees to stick with what's working.
