Dear Editor: I am writing as one of the many “moms” who worked hard for the Kids First team in this past Board of Ed election. Last week, the Kids First team publicly thanked everyone for all their time and support. As a member of this grassroots campaign, I agree, it was incredible to see …

To all the Candidates: A heads up….stop trying to get my vote by putting all your crap under my door. Stop calling, stop knocking and stop wasting paper. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO CONTINUES TO DO THIS! I know who you are and frankly don’t believe most of what you say. Why not …

Dear Editor: Recently, a friend of mine asked “What’s happened to Beth Mason”? Well, to me, that answer is easy: nothing.
