He is just the guy to help the board finally do something productive (like take a stand on school funding, or make charter schools accountable), instead of piddle around trying to insert creationism into the science curriculum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1155753955848460262006-08-16T14:45:00.000-04:002006-08-16T14:45:00.000-04:00Tom Sawyer has some serious issues to deal with. ...Tom Sawyer has some serious issues to deal with. When I met him in March I told him I was running against Fink for board of education. He was at this time in the congressional primary. He told me he supported my campaign but could not sign my petition because he <I>LIVED OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT. </I> <BR/><BR/>Apparently he has moved?<BR/><BR/>Sawyer is a conformist to the bone. He shafted the workers with NAFTA and he shafted education by voting for No Child Left Behind. Why should the people trust him again?<BR/><BR/>Dave KovacsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1155739583895398752006-08-16T10:46:00.000-04:002006-08-16T10:46:00.000-04:00It would be a great move for Sawyer - the man has ...It would be a great move for Sawyer - the man has <I>got to</I> serve, and this is a great opportunity for him.scott bakalarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17148560678933715203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1155657331421360762006-08-15T11:55:00.000-04:002006-08-15T11:55:00.000-04:00Tom Sawyer would be perfect for this position!

He has strong educational ties and will likely be a forceful Board member when elected! <BR/><BR/>Owens-Fink has been a single-issue (anti-evolution) presence, and is in the untenable position of being on the Board when Ohio schools have been rated as changing for the worse (dropping 11 positions relative to other states, the largest drop of any state in the country!) in the most-recent assessment (Morgan Quitno Press, 2005). Replacing Owens-Fink with Sawyer would be a real win for Ohio!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13368104.post-1155644263750882712006-08-15T08:17:00.000-04:002006-08-15T08:17:00.000-04:00Pho, this is totally unrelated but I caught you on...Pho, this is totally unrelated but I caught you on WCPN this morning.

Latest on the Sawyer-possibly-running for school board is an article in the Akron Beacon Journal, which did in fact say that he was collecting signatures on petitions. Story also included quotes from Sawyer and Fink. PD did not talk to Fink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
