Gibson's Political Grandstand on Prejean generates huge crowds

Our lone ANTI board member Jim Gibson managed to generate a lot of attention for himself with his request to declare June 1, Carrie Prejean Day.

Hundreds came to the VUSD school board meeting last night.

Too bad Jim Gibson did not use his flair for making political headlines into the cause of getting the third high school built. Imagine if Jim Gibson had made getting that his goal in the the 2002 school board election instead of campaigning against the cheap level fifty acre one million dollar Jay Kawano site with his fear and smear campaign calling it a 10,000 car mega school.

He got a lot of political donations but cost VUSD millions of dollars. Now instead of having a fifty million dollar high school slated to be finished by September 2005 we have at least a 100 million dollar high school at a much worst, much more hilly site that will not be opened until at least January of 2010.
