Spoiling for a fight

Art Johnston is a pain in the neck. He’s also been elected to represent the people on the School Board. He’s proven to me to be far more trustworthy than other people representing the School District. If I were him I would have told the rest of the Board that I wouldn’t record the School Board meeting. That said, I don’t blame him one iota for not telling his fellow board members whether he had a recording device at the closed meeting or not. If he had recorded and played back privileged information he could have been prosecuted. That would have been his problem. Asking him whether he had a recorder was a sign of paranoia by the Board majority. If anyone should be paranoid its Art.

Even though I would have said I didn’t have a recorder had I been in Art’s situation I don’t blame Art for not saying. It was offensive of the Board members to ask him if he was recording.

Its apparent to me that after winning so handily Judy Seliga-Punyko is feeling her oats. Maybe that’s arrogance. The previous Board was mighty tempted to remove Gary Glass from the Board. Obviously the Board hasn’t learned its lesson. If they keep this up they will get their comeuppance.
