Meet school board member Jim McCourt, who is currently up for re-election. The main things we know about him from his board tenure are (1) given the opportunity, he prefers to dine on sea bass (at least when it's on the taxpayers' dime), and (2) he only attended 3 out of every 4 (75%) board meeting in 2009 and only 3 of 5 meetings (60%) so far in 2010.Based on this information one might surmise the following:
Favorite CD/album: Jimmy Buffet's "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time"
Favorite Book: "Three Quarters Dead" by Richard Peck
Favorite Movie: Strauss: The King of Three-Quarter Time
Favorite Getaway Destination: A drive down I-75
Favorite Biblical verse: John 3:4 - "Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law"
Change in his pocket: 3 quarters, ya think?
Favorite Quote: The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters. - John Major
Favorite time of day: 9:00 (AM or PM) ...Three quarters to noon (or midnight)!
Favorite phase of the moon: Waning gibbous, or 3/4 moon on the down side
Favorite Meal: SEA BASS!
SP-EYE: With all due respect to Mr. McCourt, it seems that his start-up business needs more of his attention than he has to devote to the school board. These are trying times in our school district, and we need board members who can devote full time and energy to their board duties.
