There was a Municipal election here in Saint Louis and I was on the Citizen Audit Panel for the new machines and process–still catching up on sleep and getting things done.
On the negative side, the school board majority in Saint Louis lost probably meaning Creg Williams will soon be a free agent again. Those looking for a dynamic superintendent should get in line. After working on Saint Louis Public School issues for 8 years, it’s more than a bit depressing to see the keys turned over to people who pretty much want to return to policies that nearly bankrupted the damn district.
If you have some sense of my attitude to get over it in tough election losses, it’s because I’ve seen them all too often.
Its too bad a majority of city voters seem more interested in a feel good jobs program than in educating children.
I just read an article in Businessweek Roberti is running the New Orleans public schools – a contract Alvarez got before Katrina. Seems (surprise surprise) they had the same kind of money issues St. Louis had.

Don’t taunt me–while I can technically comment on the issue, it’s not a good idea given some professional ties. I was at the incumbents party that night after finishing up at the Board of Elections and it was depressing–and the number of people way ahead of me in time spent on the issue…
But ultimately, it was a turnout issue.
