What you said is pretty much spot on. Unfortunatly addressing misuse of school funds is not a issue Laroque will discuss, and weather or not I was running I don't get to duck the issue. If I wanted to 'campaign' I would have picked issues that didn't involve things like tax payer money. I would like to make one important point, Peter Laroque used the podium at the school committee meetings to campaign, he said there was a huge chasm between the parents and the administration. I defended his right to speak then, which is ironic since he doesn't want others to speak when it makes him look bad. By the way I can go into more detail giving you dates and school committee discussions that involve Laroque as well. Even as his opponent I believe in his right to speak at the meetings, as I did before, even though his speaches were campagning and not bringing up specific instances of things that were wrong. So calling the pot black, goes back to Laroque, by the way I think I have dates and times on hands, and some school committee meeting recordings to prove my point. One of the times I was at the podium I asked Mr. Laroque to support a federal investigation with information, he declined.mark graynoreply@blogger.com
