Gauvreau whops Lennon - GOP Gjertzen beats Democrat Downing in 6
 
CMS BONDS FAIL - CMS DEMOCRATS REJECTED FOR FAILURE TO DEAL WITH HOODLUMS AND THUGS.
 
GOP to make good on our collective public pre-vote pledge to offer COPS funding of Suburban growth bonds package in the next 2 weeks.
 
LAND BONDS FAIL (due to County Democrats withdrawing suburban CMS site acquisition money).
 
 

 

 
CMS' refusal to deal with hoods, thugs and the North Meck riots the cause backlash. Governments inability to deal with the "moral sewer" deals serious blow to Chamber of Commerce (and their $500,000 war chest).
 
  • Will Chamber, Democrats and GOP "RINO's" change their tune and support a reform school and expulsion of CMS thugs?
  • Will these groups support building schools in suburbia or continue to promote "diversity" at the expense of safety and education?
  • Will there be excuses made to ignore the problem? Count on it. (The Democrats will claim there is no "message". The Democrats will claim that the message is "mixed". Both are fabrications)
  • Will Democrats hold suburban schools hostage now that the voters have spoken or will they support the well outlined and publicly disclosed ALTERNATIVE PLAN?
The Voters knew about the COPS alternative and voted to support the GOP plan and reject the Democrat/Chamber funded plan.
 
Black voters supported the Bonds  (based on early reporting). It appears that there was about a 40% "no" vote.
 
Question: is the Referendum PAC money from B of A, Wachovia and Duke (about $500,000) corporate money? Do their shareholders support such a waste of resources while CMS implodes and crumbles?
