Little Willie

About a week out from the election, I am at peace. I spent time with folks, and enjoyed their company more than I can say. I even had a blast with a couple that readers would never believe could have happened. Crivitz voters keep saying I will win the election, but it looks like it might be a light election. A light election is not helpful to an aspiring candidate. Again, I promise to work for all of you. We have a town of about a thousand, but the readers are up to over 5000, so hopefully some of them will be out to vote.

My children have graduated  but the problems still exist, I promise to bring this small town school back to a place we can all be proud of. I want to  work for OUR kids and grand kids.  My door will always be open for you, and my heart too! My friends, go and vote next Tuesday, and hold me to the promises. You will be glad you did! Stay tuned!

Your friend,

Dave

ps. the Little Willie title is because I love that song, and was listening to it as I wrote the post.

Treat Them Like Mushrooms: Keep Them in the Darkness and Feed them Sh*t!

Wisconsin lawmakers recently introduced a bill whereby many government entities, including school districts do not have to have to report their minutes to newspapers etc. I wonder if Lyle Cherry has a friend in state government, because it appears he would love this “fox guarding the henhouse” approach. At a somewhat recent school board hearing, Lyle asked Pete Pfankuch if he was at the meeting to “get something into the newspaper”. Why yes, Lyle, instead of hiding in back rooms, and treating the good people of Crivitz like mushrooms, we would like some transparency, while you evidently do not.

As residents of any district, aren’t the citizens entitled to know what’s going on and keep informed? Evidently not in Crivitz, per our school board’s past behavior. Folks, realize that 60 to 65 percent of your property taxes go to the school district! That’s about 2/3 of your money sent to a school that keeps us in the dark. I have made it my mission to change this culture, and make sure that people like Lyle can be voted out, and read about the good things happening in Crivitz School in his local newspaper. A quote by Noam Chomsky really says it well: “The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.”  How true! “Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself”-Desiderius Erasmus. Folks, lets give all the light we have on April 4th, and maybe we can get rid of the darkness! Stay tuned!
