It has been rumored that Davis wants to appoint Bryan Parker, but Parker has told me directly that he does not want the position. If he had wanted to be on the board he would have run. I would hope he would appoint Barbara Calhoun.
I forgot to mention that I am very disappointed in the voters for passing ‘S’. No one knows what happened to the last bond money the CUSD got, and now everyone is going to have to pay higher property taxes. And even if you rent your rent is going to go up because your landlord’s taxes are going up and you will be paying them.
