…in a DNT letter to the editor.
Martell has nothing to gain personally from all of his efforts surrounding the decisions of the School Board, but the community does. Martell has spent countless hours of his own time studying the financials of Independent School District 709, examining the teachers’ contract, delving into the business practices of Johnson Controls and attending all of the School Board meetings for the past four years. He has questioned the School Board when it failed to follow the state’s open meeting law and when constituents’ letters were not made publicly available. He is the watchdog of this race.
