No one has questioned the necessity to mitigate faulty roofs, fix infrastructure, get new buses, etc. Everyone wants safe and secure schools. That has never been an open question.
Questions, however, have been raised about the numbers inflation that seems to have come sua sponte from the C-1 Board after the BRP and IAC work products were delivered. This line of questioning has enervated all manner of aspersions upon those asking the questions, impugning the motives of the questioners, and has shut down legitimate inquiries on several Facebook threads.
Public forums are not like C-1 Board meetings where directors control allowed speech. Out here in the world the 1st Am. protects civil speech, and financial questions about the 3B Bond justifications are certainly in bounds.
Reasonable people should keep asking questions until the answers come forth. Mr. Swan’s unprofessional theatrics bring discredit to the C-1 Board, and to the extent he speaks for the C-1 Board, make them look evasive and disingenuous.
After all, Swan’s not even a candidate. People want to hear the candidates speak. Swan should allow that speech to proceed without further interference from him, because he’s not adding any useful information for voters to make decisions about potential future directors for C-1.
Why “go here” at all with this comment? Because you have to call out bullies. You can’t just sit quietly while they tromp around hurting good people.
