Isn't it funny how mass e-mailing campaigns get around?  We received this from several sources today.

Subject: URGENT SPASD Annual Meeting

Please Attend the Sun Prairie Area School District's Annual Meeting - You are
wanted!

On Monday, October 11, 2010 at 7:00 pm, the Sun Prairie Area School District
will be having its Annual Meeting at the High School Performing Arts Center (888
Grove Street, Sun Prairie). As the President of the SPASD School Board, I would
like to extend a personal invitation to attend.  This is an opportunity to see
democracy in action.  As an elector (18 years of age, living in the District for
at least 10 days) you will have the power to vote on some very important items
thataffect education in our community.  The most important is the local tax
levy.  Historically, attendance at the Annual Meeting is low - significantly
less than 1% of the eligible participants.  This invitation is an attempt to
greatly increase attendance.  Let there be no confusion as to why I am doing
this.  As a Board member, I want to be confident that the tax levy we are
proposing is acceptable to the majority of the community.  It is unfair to have
such important decisions made by a small group on either side of the issue.
Decisions affecting the whole community must be made by a representation of the
whole community.

Please visit the District's web site for all of the information regarding the
Annual Meeting (www.sunprairie.k12.wi.us).  A recent editorial and advertisement
made the claim that the information on the website was incorrect.  For the
record, that information was for last year's annual meeting - and was correctly
labeled as such.  If you have any questions about this information or have
difficulty finding it, please email me at jewhale@spasd.k12.wi.us, and I will
help you out.

YOU ARE WANTED!

Funny how none of these people expressed concern over the tax levy vote being "unfair" when the meeting was very hush-hush and less than 30- residents, most school district employees or school board members would attend! 


iInteresting that it comes from Seabass' personal Yahoo account and not his school board account.   Things that make you go, "Hmmm"
