Snow best choice for District 158

Posted April 04, 2009 11:00 pm

There is only one candidate that can represent the residents of Huntley District 158 district and the students. His name is Larry Snow. He has an outstanding record and has helped improve the educational system since he joined the school board and will continue to do so after the upcoming election.

The other candidate is Mike Skala and he does not have a good track record. Many of the district's problems occurred while Skala was on the school board or presided over it. Today a conflict of interest is evident because Mr. Skala's spouse is involved in the teacher's union. The only proper thing for Skala to do is to withdraw from the election. Unfortunately, many people do not do what's proper. My experience has shown that a vote for Skala is a vote for higher property taxes not an improvement in scholastic test scores.
