Tedwater: Unfortunately, filing fraudulent campaign reports is apparently not a jailable offense. That is because politicians like your mentor, Delegate Smigiel, protect themselves. Smigiel once said that failing to file a campaign finance report is the equivalent of a parking ticket. And he wants to be elected as a Judge?

County taxpayers pay state taxes, part of which comes back to the county in the form of education dollars. Why should we abandon this so-called “blood money” to satisfy your theories? Didn’t you apply for and receive government grants and student loans to pursue your college degrees? Why should I have subsidized you?

Teaching to the test actually allows the school system to ensure that all students are taught the same material. Don’t you believe in transparancy and accountability?

If its so serious name one, just one politician that has ever gone to jail for such a violation.

Maintenance of effort is only required if you accept state funds. Not taking blood money from the state would be a step in the right direction.

At least then we wouldn’t have to spend time teaching to the tests.
