Many of you probably remember back in 2021 when the local Republican party didn’t vet their candidate for the office of mayor of Frederick City and they wound up with someone who served almost 18 months in prison. Because they didn’t delve into the background of this guy, they ended up with a candidate who not only served time for assaulting his girlfriend, but who also was facing weapons charges.
You’d think they would have learned their lesson and made sure they at least did a case search on folks from that point forward, but alas….According to the Frederick News Post, there was a little incident involving District One County Council candidate, Frank Hollewa:
The report states that Hollewa, driving a 2022 Ford Explorer, was stopped along a curb. Then, he accelerated and turned to the left, striking the Tesla before leaving the area without exchanging information with the other driver.
The report identifies Hollewa as the driver of the Explorer. Both vehicles sustained superficial damage, and neither driver suffered an apparent injury. The investigating trooper listed Hollewa’s condition on a crash report as “asleep or fatigued.”
Hollewa is the Republican nominee for the Frederick County Council’s District 1 seat. He will face Democratic nominee Louisa Conklin in the Nov. 3 general election for the seat currently held by Jerry Donald, who is running for the Maryland House of Delegates.
You may say, “Well this occurred during the election and how was the party to know?” Well, that’s where someone on social media went to case search (and yes we also looked it up to verify) and found all this:
!!!!!!
Thank goodness there’s a very good alternative in Louisa Conklin. Can you imagine this guy taking over the seat occupied by Jerry Donald?
We also feel the need to point something else out to y’all. We are fully aware that most of our readers are not going to vote for any of the Hate Slaters for the BOE. However we did want to share this “event” that the Orange Man Ballot shared recently, because…well..it’s just so odd.
We are loving all the poorly done AI images these newly anti-data center folks put out into the world!
Take a gander at the please note section at the bottom. How would anyone with two brain cells to rub together come to the conclusion that this event will be a “civil discussion” that “Guests with a variety of viewpoints are welcome” to? It’s also interesting that children are not allowed to be present at this roast, since the theme of the event is public education. Just another example of “Be Best” in action we guess!
If y’all have been with your Lady Yokels for awhile, you know that this blog was birthed out of an LTE that a very sore loser by the name of Blaine Young wrote when he lost his bid for County Executive 12 long years ago. We feel the need to quote it in its entirety, though you can certainly check for yourself here, as it’s very pertinent to the tale we are about to tell:
Jan Gardner won and I lost, 54 percent to 46 percent, in the election. Everyone knows that we do not get along and never did. That does not mean everything she did was wrong and it does not mean everything I did was wrong.
The citizens want people who govern, not bicker and always blame the person before. I did it and it was wrong. She must move past always wanting to prove me wrong, undoing everything I put in place and firing or demoting those I hired or who were close to me; otherwise, it will be a very long four years. People see it as being very petty and very hurtful to those who do not deserve it.
Look at the election results and turnout: I lost the election; Gardner did not win it. The Republican Party won big! I promised to only serve one term, and the voters, even Republican voters, made sure I kept my promise. I have learned that if your heart is not really in it, don’t do it.
The pendulum has to stop swinging because of growth/development if we are ever going to move forward in Frederick County. The choice is Gardner’s. I only wish I received the same advice I am giving her.
I have moved on in my life. I wish her the best of luck, as it is very tough trying to keep everyone happy while trying to keep your campaign promises.
If you want to check in on how Blaine has moved on with his life (mug shots included), please go ahead and take a deep dive into our archives. This past week there are two Blaine Young articles in the paper, one an LTE and another a story in which he was quoted. It has been our experience that when he starts writing letters it means he’s thinking of running for office again.
Well, last week Blaine has some new reasons for why he lost the election and he very poorly tries to tie them into why the data centers are an issue this election cycle:
It is interesting every election cycle to see what the hot topics will be that drive voters to the ballot box. Anger and fear work best.
Out-of-control taxes, bloated spending and property rights put me in office in 2010.
In 2014, what drove me out of office was too many cuts to the government, development, turning the county-owned nursing home over to a private company and turning over Head Start to the YMCA.
Twelve years later, it’s about data centers and national Trump policies.
It’s interesting that we want no new houses, no new apartments, no new heavy industrial and now no data centers.
While at the same time, we want no real cuts to the government and the majority do not want to pay more in taxes.
That just doesn’t work or add up, especially with current government employees such as teachers, police officers, firefighters and general government personnel wanting raises and cost-of-living increases.
I’m not even talking about requested new positions and new infrastructure.
We need more taxpayers, not more taxes, to keep pace. That’s called having some type of development happening. Growth fuels the engine of the tax base. It will be an interesting next four years.
By the way, since I left office, we are still building plenty of houses and apartments and all of the government cuts have been restored, plus many new government positions added.
Oh, by the way a private company still runs the county-owned nursing homes and the YMCA still runs Head Start, so they only used those issues to stir up voters while never reversing them. Remember fear and anger works the best.
Be careful of what’s said and what’s actually done once in office.
Elections have consequences. It’s called your tax bill.
Look, we aren’t saying he’s wrong about needing more tax revenue, but he’s wrong about why he didn’t get re-elected and we are going to fact check his nursing home claims. If you were here back in 2011, you’ll remember that Blaine Young and his cronies attempted to sell the nursing home, thereby leaving our economically disadvantaged seniors with less resources:
When Jan won, that was reversed. A private company does manage the property, but they do not own it. That is the difference that he’s glossing over. Therefore, his claim that a “private company still runs the county-owned nursing homes” is disingenuous at best. When it comes to the Head Start claim, he’s forgetting to mention why everyone got so mad at him and his board over all of that. It was the sexist comments that Kirby Delauter and Paul Smith engaged in while defending their decision to pull the county funding. Both men wondered why women couldn’t just stay home like their wives did.
But you know what folks? The inaccuracies, condescension, and lying aren’t even main point we want to bring up here regarding his LTE.
In the August 2nd edition of the Frederick News Post, there appeared an article about the data center developers handing out money to a bunch of different organizations in some kind of image rehab tour. What caught our eye here at Yokel headquarters was this:
Blaine Young, a member of the local Elks Lodge, said the concession stand is part of a larger $1.5 million renovation of the historic lodge building on West All Saints Street that has been underway the past five years.
He said the Rowan donation will pay the entire cost for the new concession stand across the street from the lodge, and for its supporting utility and security infrastructure.
It will replace an older stand that stood on the site, which was used during that Elks Lodge’s annual parade event and by other organizations for fundraising.
“It serves the community in a mighty way,” Richard Hall, exalted leader of the local Elks Lodge, said of the stand. “The churches use it; the youth organizations use it; the schools use it; we use it — so it’s a tremendous fundraiser entity to the community.”
Don’t look away folks!
Rest assured, if he does try to run again we’ll be here to remind everyone why he is a very poor choice.
Speaking of poor choices, let’s talk about the effect this data center is inevitably going to have on this election cycle. First of all, if you didn’t see, CE Fitzwater has reversed course about allowing these data centers on rural land:
Along with the moratorium, we are pleased to see the public’s concerns about these data centers and their impact on people’s health and the environment being addressed. What we are not pleased about is how some people are throwing the baby out with the bathwater while jumping on the bandwagon of any politician who has seen which way the wind is blowing and is all of the sudden anti-data center in a very cheap attempt to win votes. In one of these data center forums, this post was shared:
Holy A.I. generation!
You mean this Dan Cox?:
If you think that Cox is going to go against his dear leader in the long run, we’ve got some very nice bridges to sell to you.
And, if you need more information as to why he will be horrible, read all about him here.
Then there’s Jeff Holtzinger, someone who we’ve also written about, but whose fate for us has also been sealed with this picture and post:
That’s a 100 percent no go for us. These folks are also looking to gain favor with their data center stance. While ignoring the fact that the Board of Education has no say in where these data centers are built. If you haven’t read our last post all about them, please look. Endangering our educational system and the children within are not worth the price of all of this.
We’ll keep pointing things out to you, but please drop us a message if you have anything we may be missing.
Right off the bat, we are going to pose and then answer our own question. How do we know that the Maryland Republican Party isn’t a serious party?
That right there is your answer.
If you are new to Frederick or Maryland politics, we’ll give a quick refresher on this one. However, if you already tired of reading, we can sum him up in one tweet:
You can look at the timestamp and date of that to make your own conclusions about what kind of statement he was making about Vice President Pence.
If you have more time, jump into our archives to explore all we’ve had to say about him over the years:
Or read all about the Christian Homeschooling world he’s a part of and think about what that means concerning his viewpoints on public schools and women’s rights:
Even if you are mad at Wes Moore about something, this guy is not the right alternative. Time and time again he’s shown us who he is and we need to pay attention. He’s a big fan of Trump and he will bow down to anything that man wants. Including allowing ICE in.
Next up is the school board race! If you’ve been following us around for a bit, you know how passionate we are about keeping the control of that board out of the hand of zealots. But let’s do some making fun first. Ever since mail in voting became more popular, our hate slatish folks (or whatever fruit colored name they are calling themselves this time around) claim some kind of victory before everything is counted up!
Exhibit A:
And of course, when the mail in ballots were counted all up the four people who will protect our kids and make sure that our classrooms don’t turn into some Texas-like dystopian nightmare got thousands of more votes than Fletcher and her ilk.
You can revisit the post below to see exactly why you should not vote for Fletcher:
Here’s some insights into another one of her slate members, Tyler Walker:
Shall we imagine the curriculum he’ll set up for our girls if he holds women and their position in society is such low esteem?
If you read the Frederick News Post coverage of the election results, you may have noticed this quote about a third slate member, Shelley L. Potter:
Potter, who does contract work for Outlier, a generative artificial intelligence company, wants increased focus on academic excellence, fiscal responsibility and more parent involvement in schools.
She also advocates for school choice and competitive compensation for teachers.
We know that her current career with a generative artificial intelligence company won’t sit well with many of us who care about education.
In that same article, the fourth member, Geoffrey Seidel states,
Seidel, who works as a clinical project manager for the clinical monitoring research program directorate at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, wants more parent involvement in schools, focus on core academics and an expansion of career pathway programs.
Seidel also advocates for consistent discipline policies and giving opportunities for family feedback on schools.
You can do with that as you please. We are actually in a very good position as compared to last voting cycle in that we have the exact number of people running that are needed to fill the four slots. No 5th person to throw off the math here. Couple that with the disparity in the votes and, so far it’s looking pretty good that we’ll keep the Trump orangies off the ballot!
Be sure to cast your ballot for all of the four candidates below:
Casey DayRae GallagherDean Rose
Time to talk about the county races.
Let us begin with this. Your Lady Yokels are unequivocally against the building of data centers in this county. However, we do understand that these deals were made awhile ago, and trying to back out of them is probably legally and financially untenable. We still don’t understand why the overlay was changed or why the county so quickly took the referendum to court. Brad Young and some other folks running learned on election day just how serious this issue is to county voters. So, now we are all in a very difficult position. There’s no way we are throwing our support behind Holtzinger, who couldn’t be bothered to prove he actually lived in Frederick and violated a bunch of ethics laws while serving as mayor of Frederick. Plus, there’s this:
Hard, hard pass!
CE Fitzwater needs to do some fence-mending with county residents, especially those people who live close to these proposed data centers. And the rest of us need to remember what’s important to us in this county. For giving up our county offices to someone just because they say they are anti-data center isn’t a good choice either. We like someone who is going to make sure our schools are funded properly, that our parks are well-tended to, our libraries are not only places for books but community building, and all of our citizen’s needs are met. We know that these elections are going to mean some tough choices for folks, and we get that. But please don’t vote for someone just because they say they are anti-data centers without doing some digging. There’s some real risk in that course of action as well.
While we were discussing with our circle of Yokels all the recent Board of Education campaign reports, one of our inner circle pointed out a big no-no. In Jaime Brennan’s most recent filing, she signed her own name as treasurer.
Exhibit A
Well, according to Maryland Campaign law, this is not a thing that is allowed to be done!
Exhibit B
We don’t know what the consequences of doing such a thing are, but we are not of the type to let things like this slide. If she cannot follow a simple rule such as this, she doesn’t deserve to be elected to that board again.
First of all we are very sorry to inform you that Chuck Jenkins is attempting to seek a 6th term as our High Sheriff. In the linked article you will see, and excuse us if our extreme laughter causes our typing to look a little shaky, that he decided to land on running for Sheriff again after considering runs for both Congress and County Executive.
In what world does he think that a Federally indicted, Trumpian-ICE loving sheriff would win either one of those offices?
After filing for re-election on Wednesday, The Baltimore Banner reported that Jenkins had the following to say about his realtionship with ICE:
“They have a job to do,” Jenkins said during a news conference after filing for reelection Wednesday morning.
“They’re good men and women that, again, have a job to do to protect this country, and I, as a sheriff, I believe I have an obligation to support them to the extent I can.”
We know that at least two people have filed to run for High Sheriff, and we really need to make sure this is the end of the reign of Jenkins. If you want to read more about him over the years, click here to visit our archived stories all about him.
Before we move on to our next subject, we’ll leave ya’ll with this:
Partying at Mar-A-Lago
Today we were made aware that former Frederick Mayor, William “Jeff” Holtzinger, was throwing his hat in the ring to be our next County Executive. We are a little long in the tooth around here, so when we heard this news our collective Yokel memory was reactivated about his tenure in office. We jumped in the FNP archives to see if our memory was accurate and boy was it ever. First, let’s begin with his most recent LTE, written in 2024, in which he wrote in to defend his old buddy, Neil Parrott (and yes that guy is also running again!) You’ll see why we chose to emphasize this part of his letter in a moment:
His opponent, April McClain Delaney, may be a fine person, but her experience is as a federal bureaucrat.
She lives in Potomac, outside the 6th District, and claims she is a common sense candidate.
One question for her is: Wouldn’t common sense dictate that she run for Congress in District 8, where she resides?
What’s wrong with this line of questioning you may be asking? Well, here’s what we remembered about Mr. Holtzinger’s tenure as mayor. He was constantly avoiding the subject of where he lived. Because, even though he may have secured himself a residence in the City of Frederick, per the rules of the city charter, he probably was not residing in that residence with his family full time. We found a few archived articles that you can peruse to read all about that drama.
But that wasn’t the only scandal that existed during his short tenure. He was also found in violation of the ethics law:
FREDERICK — Frederick Mayor Jeff Holtzinger’s hiring of his sister-in-law violated the ethics law prohibiting city officials from employing family members.
The city’s ethics commission met Monday to deliberate an advisory opinion on the employment of Donna Folden as City Hall’s project manager and released its statement Wednesday.
“The Ethics Commission recommends that the subject employment relationship between (Mr. Holtzinger) and (Ms. Folden) be severed and the resulting position be advertised and the hiring process be conducted by (Human Resources) in full compliance with all City of Frederick rules and regulations,” states the opinion, written by Ethics Chairman Richard Stup.
Mr. Holtzinger said the opinion does not cite himself or his sister-in-law of any wrongdoing but states the hiring process was not adequate.
“It’s a disappointment. I certainly didn’t go into this to cause any controversy,” he said. “The person has worked hard and done a good job.”
Ms. Folden, who did not wish to comment, was hired in February and will be forced to resign and leave her position by April 19, Mr. Holtzinger said.
However, this wasn’t the only questionable hire he had a hand in, according to another FNP article:
Starting with his defense a few weeks ago of hiring an unqualified relative of a city employee as a full-time horticulturist this summer (at $38,000 a year with benefits), who also happens to be a full-time college student, and ending with an offer of resignation from planning director Chuck Boyd who believes the administration is trying to drive him out.
The 19-year-old horticulturist’s hours have since been cut to accommodate her college schedule, including her participation on the FCC basketball team. The job requires an associate’s degree and three years experience, or six years experience. She has neither.
We should all believe a person the first time they show us how they handle themselves in political office. Too bad our fellow Americans couldn’t internalize that lesson with Trump.
On the heels of the announcement that Nancy Allen moved to Gettysburg and would be resigning from the Frederick County Board of Education, our local Republican party decided to engage in some high theatrics:
Let’s talk about what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot!
Let’s say we lived in a dark timeline in which Michael Hough was the CE, and let’s just speculate for just half a second that Dean Rose decided that he couldn’t maintain two residences in Maryland and Pennsylvania and decided to throw in the towel? What would Hough do? What would this local Republican party do? We don’t need to think too long on that one! Y’all make our heads spin!
However, that isn’t even the main point. Allen decided she couldn’t or wouldn’t serve out the rest of her term. When she did this she knew (or should have known) the process for selecting her own replacement. Let’s take a look at what the law says, and be sure to see who sponsored it because what a treat!
Nowhere do we see that the new candidate needs to match the philosophy of the old. And how would that happen anyway? If anyone thought that was a necessity then the law would have been written to allow the board of education member to appoint their successor. But no one thought that idea made any sense!
We took some time to peruse the letters of intent for the over 50 people who applied for the vacancy:
Most of the candidates wrote about their dedication to education, their qualifications, and their community service experience. Unless some magic rubric exists to weed out those who wouldn’t be akin to Nancy Allen, we can’t imagine how their half-baked idea would even work!
The reality is the County Executive is only obligated to appoint (along with the County Council’s approval) the most qualified individual to fill out the last year of Allen’s term. As it is a non partisan race, there is no reason to only interview people who align themselves with the Republican party. And considering how those who align themselves with the Republican party have been behaving on that board this past year, why would anyone want that?
Round and round and round we go, where it stops nobody knows!
We’ve been taking a bit of a hiatus around here, because there is just too much going on in the world and sometimes it gets, well, a bit heavy. If you don’t follow Humans of New York, please take a minute to read this because we’ve never so identified with a Facebook post before.
However, we still have a local community to keep together so we want to check in with you to bring two things to your attention.
Do y’all remember the last time we had a city election and the Republicans couldn’t get their shit together and an accused felon ran for mayor? And thankfully since our fine city doesn’t reflect a little over half of the people who choose to vote in the national election, we sent him packing. (If you don’t remember, click here to catch up.)
Well, this time around the Republicans managed to get someone on the ballot for mayor-hopefully someone who isn’t indicted-but hey that’s what their party seems to admire these days-but they didn’t manage to get folks to sign up for many of the other open city council seats. Regard their solution:
However, Frederick County Republican Central Committee Chair Jesse Pippy said on Tuesday that the party is considering appointing candidates for races that currently have no Republican running, even after the filing deadline. That party appointment process for vacancies is allowed by law.
“It would be in the best interest of the community to have contested races,” said Pippy, a state delegate.
Sooooooo, they couldn’t find anyone to file before the deadline. Therefore, there will be no primary for many of those seats and they are just going put forth anyone they can drag off the street? This better not be the way Blaine Young tries to sneak back into political office!
Nevermore!
But seriously, you guys really need to get yourselves together and stop making it so easy to make fun of you! The time to field candidates is BEFORE the filing deadline. Be best!
Now on to,
Every school board election cycle, someone tries to come up with some kind of pun on the Apple Ballot. Once of the worst attempts was fashioned together by our very own non-partisan (cough, cough) Frederick County Conservative Club.
Can we please get a graphic designer to critique this? Please?!
Before we bring you the next rendition of this nonsense, we want to remind everyone that the people who vote on that apple ballot are the people that take care of and nurture your children 180 days a year. So we would all be better served if we kept the vitriol to a minimum, but alas…
We are a little long in the tooth around here, so we know this isn’t the first time someone very uncleverly has tried to use the orange. You’ll see shortly how often the two people running this page use the Trump playbook of lies and deception.
What is that even supposed to mean, are we advocating the consumption of liberals? Might want to check with RFK on that, as I hear we are full of microplastics and artificial dyes.
However, there may be another reason as to why they choose the orange, take a gander at their first post:
Orange we glad (get it? hee hee!) about what?
They were caught in their first lie by sane school member Dean Rose. Here’s their post:
Here they claimed that FCPS had signed an agreement with The Frederick Center.
But Dean Rose stepped up and dropped the truth:
We sure are!
On that same post someone else crawled out of the woodwork, because of course she’s one of the 88 followers:
We won’t expose you to anymore of their nonsense other to share a friend of the Yokel’s observation about their website:
We love it!
We’ll keep on keeping you informed on the local stuff! Remember to drop us a line if you hear about anything we should be sharing.
Even though each day seems like an eternity lately, next year will be here before we know it!
And now for the bad news…..
Apologies all around!
Heather Fletcher is running again. If you forgot who this now twice failed candidate is, don’t worry we’ll remind you. First let’s hand her the microphone to see how y’all like her:
This post will also serve as your reminder that all of us like-minded people need to vote for the SAME number of candidates as there are openings on the board. Just look at all we’ve had to put up with because of Black and Brennan so far! #learnfromthepast!
As we sat around the Round Table at Yokel Headquarters late last week, your Lady Yokels could hardly believe that 10 years had lapsed since we began this endeavor. In celebration of this milestone anniversary we will like to take you on a stroll down memory lane.
Not sure that everyone does, so we are going to retell it!
10 years ago, after reading this LTE, https://www.fredericknewspost.com/places/local/frederick_county/frederick/blaine-young-work-together-or-nothing-will-get-accomplished/article_b1616559-e265-5a0d-9fbc-fe09bfdbe811.html, from our anti-muse, Blaine Young, a group of what became known as the Lady Yokels met in our favorite coffee spot, Dublin Roasters. After we appropriately insulted both Blaine Young and his very poor analysis of why he lost, we decided that we needed to shine the spotlight not only on Blaine, but also on his buddies, Kirby Delauter, Billy Shreve, and Tony Chmelik. At first, we discussed writing a book, but nixed that idea fairly quickly as we knew keeping an eye on these people was going to be a very fluid situation. By the end of that first meeting we decided to embark upon a blog to educate people on what is not often at the top of their to-do list, the inner workings of their local government. (Don’t worry, we’ve also kept an eye on Blaine so every time he tries to slither back into politics we are there to remind everyone of his arrests and bad behavior!)
For the next four years we religiously watched every county council meeting. More often than not, we created a drinking game to accompany such meetings in order to spice things up a bit. Here’s an example:
We sincerely hope that we didn’t hurt anyone’s livers as these games were only meant for fun. Over the first four years we made sure that everyone had a front seat to just how crazy things were with those three on the council. Here’s a curated sampling from our archives:
While there are so many artifacts from this part of Yokel history, this is still hands down our favorite:
Backstory: Kirby wanted to prove that the Citizens for Quality of Life PAC was corrupt, but you will notice that nothing comes out of the PAC and somehow Jessica ended up with everything!
After one term in office, Kirby and Billy tried to obtain a higher office, while Tony wanted to stay put. Thankfully enough people paid attention and NONE of that happened! We sent our three amigos out with a departing post:
After saner folks got on the council we kinda checked out on that scene, though we did decide to check back once last summer and boy was there some drama:
Our main, but certainly not our only focus, has been the Frederick County School Board. People often underestimate (though perhaps that sentiment isn’t as true as it was in the past) the damage the wrong people can do on a school board. Just take a look at Colt Black and Jaime Brennan! The person who dragged us into this new focus was none other than Cindy Rose. Thankfully everyone understood how bad she would be, and after four failed attempts, she has finally seemed to have given up. Here’s some highlights of what we had to say about that one:
Hopefully we will be more successful next year in reminding everyone how to do the math with the school board candidates so we don’t get left with the shit show we have right now.
Thank you all for an interesting and fun ten years! Think of your Lady Yokels tonight as we clink our glasses together and hope that we can survive another ten years of politics! We appreciate all of you being a part of this journey.
If you haven’t paid attention to all the budget troubles going on around here..welcome to the terrible party. In the next few weeks the budget for FCPS is going to be voted on, and we need to make sure that our schools get what they need to educate our children. We’ll let a good friend of the Yokel explain it to y’all:
The most important duty of local government is to educate the children living within their borders. If we fail at this it really doesn’t matter how nice our parks, roads or other public services are. At the bottom of this post we are going to list the email addresses for county council members and County Executive Fitzwater so you can email them with your concerns.
Speaking of the important duty of education, one of the most important duties we have as citizens is to vote for competent school board members. That is where a fair number of us failed this time around. We tried to sound the warning about there being too many candidates on our side, but that warning did not reach enough ears and we are now left to deal with the consequences of it all.
Colt Black has decided to use his short time on the board to harass and demean LGBTQ+ students at school board meetings. From the Frederick News Post:
Referring to the part of a districtwide gender identity policy, Policy 443, that instructs teachers and staff members to use a student’s preferred name and pronouns, Black said at a Jan. 8 school board meeting: “Just as much as you have your right to be you, we have our right to be free from you.”
Lots of local folks filed complaints about this outrageous comment from a sitting school board member. Well, today an independent investigator determined that Black did not violate Title IX:
But that doesn’t mean that he’s not an unqualified bigot that shouldn’t be on the board. We’ll tell you right now that the 5 member panel of judges here at the LY have already tried and convicted him in our court of public opinion, and so has a majority of the school board:
We’ll remind y’all again in a couple of years, but we do need to remember how the math works when it comes to school board elections. We cannot pay this high price again.
