Election '08: Is Havel-Lang vulnerable?

Conversation in Sun Prairie suggests that 13 (as in a 13th year on the school board) may prove to be an unlucky number for Mary Ellen Havel-Lang. Her recent positions regarding Boundary changes, the high school issue, open meetings concerns, and community engagement have raised the hackles of a growing number of folks. The overwhelming comments being heard include such things as:
  • "12 years is too long."
  • "Havel-Lang is all about writing policy, yet doesn't follow policy."
  • "Too many personal attacks."
  • "A master in the art of deception and controlling the information the public receives."
  • "Havel-Lang is too controlling; she has to have her fingers in every pie."
  • "It's Mary Ellen's way or no way"
  • "The Sun Prairie school board needs a change in management."

Whether you support Mary Ellen, or support change, PLEASE get out and vote this Tuesday, April 1.
