Wow. Talk about your Friday afternoon info dump:The Lebanon Citizens Alliance for a Responsible Education System (CARES) announced Friday that it will initiate a recall of Lebanon School Board member Debi Shimmin.
“The members of CARES and this community feel betrayed by Ms. Shimmin. She has broken almost every promise she made during her campaign," said CARES president John Kennedy. "Her votes have been consistently irresponsible and potentially unlawful and will ultimately lead to more litigation against the Lebanon School District. We feel we have no choice - Ms. Shimmin must go before more damage is done.”
More later.

Seriously? Just Debi? Not Alexander or Winteer???
Wineteer and Alexander's terms expire next summer. Shimmin's expires in 2011.
Conducting a recall of people with only a year left is probably significantly more difficult than simply voting them out of office.
Oh Brother. More conflict and less healing, thanks to a Careless CARES Committee. This is very sad for Lebanon.
Wait... getting rid of Robinson is healing, but getting rid of Shimmin is not?
Please explain the difference.
The difference depends on which side you are on.
I remember back before Shimmin was on the school board, and how smoothly things went. Life was good. Robinson and the board would go on retreats together, and carpooled! Life was grand, until that evil Shimmin came in and ruined it. Yep, it is all Shimmins' fault. Get rid of her, and we'll all be happy again!

This is a strawman argument, and I think the author of the comment knows it. No one has ever seriously suggested this, at least not to the best of my knowledge, and as such, this does nothing to add to the discussion.
Unless, of course, I'm misreading the comment, and it's actually snark directed at IE =)

Let's see if they get the signatures. If they don't, then you can say what you want. What if they do collect the signatures? Do all those people not "care" for the community. After all IE knows best.
