Gary Chartrand tries to buy the district 6 school board race (rough draft)

Let me give you a little primer about democracy. Everyone gets one vote for the candidate of their choice. If you really like them you can donate your time and money. You can give a thousand dollars in the primary and then if your candidate makes it to the general election another thousand dollars. Unless you are rich then you can do whatever the %$^& you want.

In the district district six school board race Gary Chartrand has donated to David Chauncy a barely post pubescent carpetbagger and former Teach for America corp member and he donated to him four times.

Notice anything similar there? Like the addresses? All of those are Gary Chartrand. I don’t know anyone who could afford to gave a thousand dollars and here he is dropping four grand like it is pocket change he found in his couch.

Now it’s true he didn’t break any laws but that’s more due to the fact the rich make laws to benefit themselves than anything else. No the letter of the law was not broken but the spirit of the law was obliterated and obliterated by a man who doesn’t even live in the city and who sent his children to expensive and exclusive private schools.

Chartrand is the villain of the story, he supports both the privatization of public education and the deprofessionalization of teachers. Just because he amassed a fortune by underpaying his employees and over charging his customers doesn’t me he should be allowed to by a school board seat.

Then there is Chauncey who obviously sees nothing wrong with Chartrand skirting both the rules and decency. What does that say about his character. Not much if you ask me.

This race is going to get ugly quick.
