Please scroll to the 54:20 mark to see a ridiculous comparison between a US Representative voting on a law and a school board member deciding the district needs to sell bonds without voter approval. Yes, at the time it was legal, even though the ethics of circumventing the voters to raise public debt is questionable to many. In fact, the practice was so questionable, the law was changed on October 1, 2009, preventing the practice of school boards going around the voters to sell OPEB bonds. How did circumventing the voters work for the Minnetrista City Council in regard to funding the new police station? Two new council members!
To add insult to injury, contrary to the statement, "we didn't have to cut over $1,000,000 because we approved our OPEB dollars," none of the OPEB funds have been used. What was the urgency? To beat the the law change? It's my understanding, the district had and has the ability to pay as we go. To be sure, if Notch, Mailey and Hejna are elected, there will be no taxation without representation! There will also be a full report on our OPEB account. See what the MN Auditor's office has to say about OPEB bonds.
She is just clueless. Who votes for her and why?
ReplyDeleteKevin does! :)
ReplyDeletehow does someone this liberal and this loony keep getting elected in an area where people generally work for a living? this isn't Minneapolis.
ReplyDeleteOPEB is a skim scam if I ever saw one. What a cluster ####.
ReplyDeleteWhile the "B Team" chooses OPEB--for you--Orono chooses to advance their educational mission:

Bremer chairs this board? No wonder nothing gets done but trying to spend money and work on social agendas. Look at her campaign blurb on the site of a liberal think tank that endorses her.
ReplyDelete"Ann is running for re-election to the Westonka School Board. Currently serving as the Chair of the Board, Ann has been a strong leader in the district for the past five years making it her priority to fight for children who might otherwise be lost in the system. Ann is devoted to making school a safe place for all students by working to reduce instances of bullying. Facing a tough race this year, Ann is the only woman in a field of eight candidates. Keenly aware of the lack of gender parity in government, Ann has worked hard to establish equal representation of men and women in the district's administrative and support staff. Ann is looking forward to continuing her important work in the Westonka school district."

Orono, Wayzata and Minnetonka work on winning awards for preparing their students for the next level while Ann works on social engineering and which restroom other board members use.

ReplyDeleteAnn Bremer DOES NOT CHAIR our school board, Dave Botts does!!! She is his helper. This embellishment seems to fall in line with the other fun with numbers projects that come from the yes camp!
