level of discussion. We can’t simply have this knee-jerk reaction of “anything
government ran we don’t like”. We as an organization may have very legitimate
issues with the Board and/or with this bill. If that is the case, let’s put
those on the table. Let’s make our voices heard on a state-wide level. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

issue, but I think we have to have something a bit more articulated than “I
don’t like it because they’re trying to divide and conquer”. Whatever
our stance is, either in favor or otherwise, let’s articulate it well and
back it up with facts. That should be the letter we send regarding this bill. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
