You can vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary and change the one you vote in every election if you want.

one party wants to treat taxpaying American citizens who happen to be gay as second class citizens.

What I don't like is the flat out lies. The CC8 first lied about not pursuing the half cent.
Posted by GroveReb84]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:13:52 -0500 Memphis Flyer The credit for the news story goes to the Daily News not the CA. The Daily News may be the only media outlet that has interviewed the school board members and quoted them re the sales tax increase and what they are willing to commit to.

They think the voters are stupid.

Kudos to the CA for actually doing an article and quoting members of the school board. While the CC8 and City Council are out making promises about pre-K that they have no authority to keep, the school board is flat out telling the public that they can't make that promise.

Not only that, but Cash is telling you that it isn't possible to close 21 schools.
Posted by GroveReb84]]> Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:35:41 -0500 Memphis Flyer You may have already read these but just in case, there is an interesting opinion piece from the county mayor in the CA this AM, and an interesting news piece in yesterday's Daily News about the sales tax increase, quoting members of the unified school board on how the money will be used. It appears there is no solid commitment to spending the money on Pre K. It makes one wonder if A C Wharton and the CC8 are stupid or maybe they think the voters are stupid.

But, there is some icing on the crumbling cake.
