After getting a lot of insight about my Board of Ed endorsements, and listening more to the buzz leading up to the election, I'm going to have to take a bullet . . . vote for my preferred candidate, Dominick Profaci.
I'm not going to vote for Mary Ann Tozzi, primarily because she's unwilling to look at administrative salaries like Maria Rice's for cost savings. I applaud Ms. Rice for foregoing a pay increase, and I do not blame her or any of her incredible staff for taking the highest salary they can negotiate. However, even asking these good people to squeak by on a mere $150,000 a year could go a long way to finding the money for maybe a dozen teachers.
My neutral assessment of Bob Rich is also shakier, but the reasons why are entirely hearsay and inappropriate to share at this time.

I know it's after the fact - it doesn't really matter now.. but what I said was "Maria Rice is worth every penny she's paid" and I stick by that. I never said I wasn't willing to look at salary. Those who forewent their pay increases were NOT altruistic - they did it inlieu of possibly having NO job if the budget didn't pass.
