Dallas County School Board Elections Tomorrow
The Dallas County School Board is having elections tomorrow. No one really cares, or knows what they do. However, they play an important role in helping with transportation and technology needs for the many school districts in Dallas County. Hardly anyone votes, or knows anyone running, so in the past, Libertarians and some fringe candidates get elected to this board. It is an important job and fortunately, Dallas is lucky to have some good candidates this year. That's a good thing, because take a look at the current board. It's probably the whitest thing you've ever seen. Good gosh. Martin Hoffman is a good guy and a good Democrat, but the rest are a bunch a spares. This board needs some color, damn it! For that reason, I endorse the two very well qualified minority candidates for the board. Pauline Dixon, the Democratic nominee for the 32nd Congressional District in 2002 is one of those candidates. She's a fabulous lady, and as a former teacher, she'd be a great addition to the Dallas County School Board. I also endorse Lupe Valdez. I don't know too much about her, but if I were a registered voter in Dallas county, I'd vote for her. Larry Duncan is also decent Democratic candidate for the board.
