The Mayor's Pick
A couple of issues ago, we reported that Mayor Slay was already vetting people for his appointment to the anticipated transitional board. It is not an easy sell given the chaos that has enswirled the district.
We had previously reported Wash U's James McLoed as withdrawing his name from consideration. Two others we hear were approached but declined are: Grace Hill's Theresa Mayberry-Dunn and Bill Carson, formerly of the Vashon Compact.
How wonderful! I hope every person approached refuses to play this political game and forces Slay and his political cronies to stop screwing things up. Those who truly want to help our kids want nothing to do with a mayor who wants to sell out our city's youth. As far as I'm concerned, that's the litmus test.
