The most formidible of the group running for School Board is Central African Republic RPCV Libby Garvey
As the only incumbent in the field of six, she has the experience of having run for School Board several times in the past, giving her an extensive political organization that could help her retain her seat, which she has held since 1997. She also has a mastery of the issues facing the local school system. “She can address any issue you want and has three levels of responses to it,” former teacher Jim Schroeder said after a recent debate at Wakefield High School. “You can’t not be impressed with Libby.”

Breaking From The Pack

WHEN LOCAL DEMOCRATS go to cast their ballots in next week’s School Board caucus, they will be faced with a choice between six candidates, all of whom have remarkably distinct personalities, backgrounds and stances on the issues.
Despite the size of the field that is vying for two seats, all six candidates enjoy the support of their own constituencies. And less than two weeks away from the caucus, it is impossible to predict the outcome of the race.
[Excerpt]
THE MOST FORMIDABLE of the group running for School Board is Libby Garvey.
As the only incumbent in the field of six, she has the experience of having run for School Board several times in the past, giving her an extensive political organization that could help her retain her seat, which she has held since 1997.
She also has a mastery of the issues facing the local school system. “She can address any issue you want and has three levels of responses to it,” former teacher Jim Schroeder said after a recent debate at Wakefield High School. “You can’t not be impressed with Libby.”
However, Garvey also has accrued a large voting record during her tenure on the School Board and the other five candidates have tried to use some of her more controversial stances against her. Also, as the only incumbent in the field, Garvey has been held accountable for all the decisions the School Board has made in the past.

 | Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
