Then Rory “only kids in charters have a chance” Diamond is comically uninformed. The beach has some of the best schools in the state yet I guess they are failing if we use his logic. If Gary Chartrand said the sky was orange and puppies weren’t cute, Diamond would probably go along.

Diamond did it out of spite. Boylan played the referendum card aka "let the people decide." I guess that only extends to elected positions and not sales tax referendums?
