Letter's subject rejects its content

This response relates to a recent letter to the editor by Gerald McMahon that had so many mistakes that a response was necessary.

The comment from his published letter is in italics and my response follows:

1. positions they hold with BEST?

State records prove that BEST doesn't exist anymore nor has it for almost three years.

2. they are official leaders of BEST and were very instrumental in passing the last D158 referendum.

No group, no leaders. I wasn't a leader in the educational funding referendum.

3. Rewerts and Meyer worked diligently to promote and pass that bogus referendum. Even the Daily Herald acknowledged it was a misrepresentation to the voters.

I didn't work diligently on the last referendum. I ran the building referendum over five years ago.

Also, I never recall the paper calling it misrepresentation, but administrative mistakes. Deliberate misrepre-sentation is criminal.

4. Now BEST's bent on trying to destroy (Larry) Snow and (Aileen) Seedorf.

BEST does not exist so how can it destroy anyone?

5. With some people, even when they are proven wrong they can never accept it.

I do admit when I'm wrong and stated the referendum was needed but not at proposed levels. The educational tax rate continues to decline.

6. BEST has little integrity about the reasons behind why its dislikes Larry and Aileen. Zealots should not try to pass for sheep.

BEST does not exist! Also, I'm not a zealot, who is a Jewish military rebel trying to overthrow Roman rule. Hardly.

7. Readers not aware, BEST is a local political action committee called Building Exceptional Schools Together.

The key word should have been "was," not "is." BEST does not exist.

I have placed three un-returned calls to Gerald to inform him of the truth before he writes any more responses.
