Subject: [Lee Drury De Cesare's Casting-Room Couch] New comment on Latino Literature.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Latino Literature":

Heard strange news story on radio about Hills. County school district chief Mary Ella saying she is running for open school dist. head in state of Nevada, even though Mary didn't submit application. I think it is a false flag, to get a raise, saying other districts are interested in her. Tooting her own horn. What school district would be interested in her, she doesn't have a Ph.D.

I wish somebody would hire her so that she would get out of town. I don't think they will, alas. The board is dumb enough to believe this. I have been trying to get the notes from her hiring. I read the applicant file. She was the least qualified. lee

Thank You, Jesus: Another Candidate has filed to run against Candy in District 2

Candy's Best Bud

Mr. Hernandez: I was delighted to read in La Gaceta that you will run against Candy Olson in District 2.

Ms. Olson has been on the board so long that she has moss growing on her board perch.

I would count it a tie between her and Jennifer Falliero for the worst board member.

I have a piece on her as well as April Griffin on my blog. April is no shining example of what a board member should be either.

Maybe it's the atmosphere of ROSSAC that makes them all go bad after three meetings in the board room. The thing is a mystery to this observer.

Go to leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com to read my analysis of the three incumbents running now. I do not write hagiographies as you can see if your read my pieces on the incumbents.

I wish I could go to your kick-off, but I am going to a PBK dinner with a history lecture that I have a particular interest in.

I want to sound you on your platform emphasis sooner or later. Your name sounds familiar, but everybody in Tampa seems to be named Spoto or Fernandez. I would be interested in seeing a copy of your curriculum vitae. Please send me one if you have it.

You are sure to get an interview with a reporter from the Times and Tribune. If you will email me when, I will try to drive over from the beach where I now live after 20 years in Beach Park when our children were growing up.

My husband was mayor in our little beach town of Madeira Beach until he retired after a dozen years, being unable to stand the bickering any more. I am grateful that anyone will consent to run for public office so wretched is the job it seems to me.

But run people do. And for some malignant reason, those running for the school board are inevitably the jerks of the political pool and remain on the board until they fossilize into potted plants.

I hope you are a benign exception, sir.

Ethics Charge Against April Griffin for Suppressing Free Speech

Dave Schmidt has left a new comment on your post "Putting the Screws to Free Speech":

Mrs. Decesare: Thank you for your kind words. Yes, April Griffin did indeed seek revenge for my blog and she indeed had me "thugged."

While you and I go about business differently in our blogs, we both have First Amendment rights which our politicians must accept. April did not and I paid a price.

But, this matter is still unresolved and Ms. Griffin must campaign for another term this spring and summer. She has five other candidates to face and I believe she can and will be defeated. Her vengeance against me is the tip of the iceberg.

Next week, I will file a Florida Ethics Commission complaint against her in another matter. Certainly, I will post that information on my blog at www.hillsboard.com.

Again, thank you for your interest and support.

Mr. Schmidt: Don't ever forget that this punishment you got is about free speech. The administration and board lay in wait to trap Steve Kemp with a bogus charge because he had a blog.

They can't stand anybody's telling the truth about how vile is their behavior in running the schools. They don't want to have the information get out unexpurgated by the Community Affairs office and are scared to death of blogs because bloggers may let the cat out of the bag. That's my goal:to let the cat out of the bag and let the public know that crooks are running the schools.

I hope you do file an ethics charge against April. She ran on a platform of cleaning up the schools and within weeks of her election she was one of the ROSSAC gang: she did a complete roll-over capitulation. She lacks courage and civic spirit. I pray one of her challengers beats her. I don't think anyone could be worse than April.

Don't forget my offer to leaflet. I have spent some of the best times of my life on the picket line.

Fight on, and let me know what I can do. I learned my tactics in the Women's Movement. We were up against a behemoth of prejudice and learned to use sharp elbows with the best of them.

Don't make the mistake of thinking the administration, April, and other board members will use ethical maneuvers. It's gutter from start to finish with them. lee
