Bad News

I spoke with Senator Greenip tonight, and she indicated that it is likely that Senator Rosapepe will vote with the Leopold/Democrat team and in favor of the commission-based school board appointment process, and not for a school board elected by the people of Anne Arundel County.

That is extremely disappointing news.

I hope that there is a way to find a compromise, or to pass a bill for a truly elected board. There is a compromise that would placate at the very least me; if a new law allowed candidates to run against a commission nominee, that would probably alleviate a lot of concerns. But I am not optimistic for that kind of solution.
