Re-elect David Frazer
I'm not here much these days because I'm managing David Frazer's campaign for reelection to the South Orange/Maplewood Board of Education.
Needless to say, I think David is the best thing going in this election. Please be sure to visit his campaign website. It's chock-full of useful information about the schools. Even a cursory read will demonstrate just how difficult and time-consuming an undertaking being on the BOE can be. Too bad some other Board members don't take their responsibilities as seriously as David.
I urge you to read through the site. Attend one (or more!) of the many candidate "coffees" around town. Go to one of the Candidates' Forums. Listen to all the candidates and judge how concrete and realistic their ideas are and how their experience and temperments might fit into a group of 9 individuals - individuals who nonetheless must cooperate and make compromises without letting their preconceptions and personal agendas interfere, for the good of our students, taxpayers, and our entire community. I've done that, and David really stands out - which is why the Board unanimously elected him as their President last May. It's also why I myself am supporting David Frazer so wholeheartedly. I urge you to do the same.
