Glad to hear you are trying I have heard of this and good results.

Brilliant! Wickedly funny satire!

two points of reference Mr. Davalos - the meeting begins at 5:30 p.m. - it will be held in the Hilltop High gym and will seat as many as come.

COME ONE, COME ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAND UP FOR THE STUDENTS, THE FUTURE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY.

Mr. Davalos: you Sir, have summed it up quite eloquently.

you have done your homework and described the cast of players to a tee, even though, WE, the taxpayers take exception to being referred to as 'an angry mob'. however, if that is what it takes to clean up the alleged corruption within our beloved SUHSD then so be it. we much preferred the label that 'the gandara' used ANTAGONISTS!!!!!

i am most sure that those who stood up for the students really do not mind the labels, as long as, in the end, they are able to accomplish the task at hand. TAKING OUR DISTRICT BACK FROM THOSE WHO WOULD USE IT FOR PERSONAL OR POLITICAL GAIN.

i personally view all who stood up against the alleged corruption as heroes - all; whether they be the initial 5 who met with FBI and DA, or the courageous district insiders who were disgusted with the leadership and put their jobs on the line by reporting wrong doings.

regarding the commissioned report aka 'the vega report' - it is apparent that JOHN MCCANN is in it up to his neck. little do he and brand realize no amount of games are going to stop its release - sooner or later it is coming.

many questions regarding prop o have yet to be answered.

without a forensic audit we will never ever know the true state of our tax dollars.

an audit is due to be released late this month or early next - superficial at best is what it will be. no doubt that is why superintendent brand brought erick hall & assoc. is to perform the audit. they will hit 'em with a few negatives but will fail to disclose the obvious - we have been sold down the river.

the star, Abraham luna likes

Looks like the secret is out

Tom......thanks for "manning" by doing some more investigating, and reporting 'both' sides of the story. Also, your wife is right!!!

"we're gonna get this ship back on track" - with all due respect, the USS Sweetwater is sunk. it is going to take several new board members (4) and a new superintendent to once again begin to rebuild the good sweetwater name.

what has been left out of the 'whole' picture is this, the monies that john mccann and jim cartmill received during the last election. they both took thousands upon thousand from contractors and vendors. AND, have filed addendums to their 2010 campaigns with the following contributions:

cartmill received $9,000.00 worth of contributions between the months of february and march of 2011 (AFTER, the election) from such companies as marston & marston, rotech cons, turpin & rattan engineers, hollywood gourmet foods, and then there is laura martinez WIFE OF BONNY GARCIA - districts legal counsel.

john mccann as well received monies after the 2010 elections. between january and june of 2011 he himself received $1600.00 from garcia's wife, $5,000 from swinerton builders, and $2,500 from blue coast consulting.

so you tell me why are these companies helping to pay off these two board members campaigns AFTER THE ELECTION? since when have you ever heard of a company simply giving away money and expecting nothing in return.

JOHN MCCANN & JIM CARTMILL may have been able to fill out those 700 forms (those will be released soon) but the info provided above lets us know they two were in the pay to play up to their pretty little necks.

my opinion see registrar of voters for verification
