City School Board Candidate Howard EagleTo Whom It Concerns,
With regard to the Rochester Board of Education race — your article at the link above, really does represent dangerous foolishness. If I am reading it correctly, your position is that, (rather than support candidates such as me and Commissioner Van White) — you support the possibility of reelecting the type of board Commissioner that refuses to apologize to constituents for routinely cursing-out colleagues, including the Superintendent of Schools, during business meetings, and the type of two-headed mayor who claims that he does not support that particular method of delivering messages, yet he completely supports the messenger (as if the two can be conveniently and automatically separated).

The latter couple referenced above, along with their friends and supporters are very real people (the epitome of thoroughly entrenched, local Democrat Party status-quo), and are far more detrimental than imaginary, corrupt, local, ACORN operatives — relative to the objective, best interests of Rochester City School District students and families.

Your generalized, conspiratorial, party-line really does not serve this community well, especially as it relates to the children, families and employees within the Rochester City School District. Thus, I would urge you to rethink your position, and spend some time familiarizing yourself with local, political history, issues, individuals and conditions.
