Post plays catchup

The Washington Post today finally realized that the school board process is an issue in our county. The article includes this gem of a quote from John Leopold:

"Why should the people doing all the hard work of the nominating committee participate when their results are just thrown out of the window by political decisions made behind the scenes?"

Of course, what Leopold fails to note is the fact that under his scheme, the nominating committee is going to be made up of participants nominated by political decisions made behind the scenes. That kind of insider baseball is what truly breeds cynicism.
