School Board Election update

As of today there is only one candidate who has filed papers to run for our Vista Unified School Board race this November, Carol Herrera. Congratulations Carol. Thank you for your courage.

Jim Gibson has pulled papers but is not listed as filing them. This does not mean he is out of the race. It could mean he filed them today but too late for the Registrar's office to change the website information. It could also mean that he deliberately is waiting to file to lengthen the filing deadline.

As you may recall from earlier posts, if both incumbents do not file on or before August 6th, then the deadline is extended one week to August 13th.

Jim may be playing the game of delaying as long as possible in order to keep the name of the dupe he has talked into running on the ANTI slate with him kept secret from the public for another week. Filing as late as possible is all part of the 'stealth' strategy that his group has used in the past.

Hey its only a public office, why should the public know who is running? At least that has been the thinking of our angry friends and their anti- FACT based public education agenda.

I can hardly wait until Monday afternoon to find our whether Jim filed late today or didn't file so he could delay the announcement of his 'running mate'.
