Allentown's upcoming squad of political hopefuls is very quick to cast judgement. When a school board member cited systemic racism in defending a salary, and I used the word reparations in a blog title, I found myself on the wrong end of their bullhorn. Never mind that the blog premise was overpaying for unknown results, they were eager to brand someone.
Joining the fray was none other than vote seeker state rep Mike Schlossberg. He took the opportunity to comment that just because a person has a blog doesn’t mean they have an opinion with any value. I think the same can be said about of the opinions stated by some state representatives.
While there certainly isn't anything wrong with people in positions of leadership looking like the majority of citizens they serve, such as with new police chief Charles Roca, making that the criterion can be very limiting. In regards to the school district, the school board was obsessed with the superintendent "looking" like the students, as if the students ever knew who the super was anyway.
Mike why aren't these people wearing there End Gun Violence shirts?
ReplyDeleteMost state representatives have one thing in common, they have NO practical experience at anything. Their knowledge is very limited except in the art of bullshitting. Most have never had a job that required results, accountability or competence. When will americans stop voting for these people?
