Great editorial about the city council meeting. Got some good responses. The bottom line is public involvement. Because in theory in the United States, we have self government. Motivating people to get involved is the problems facing us. We have mistakenly assumed that the people in leadership are doing their jobs. People need to know, which historically has been the role of the press, and we know the press in Topeka is not adequate. They should be informing us.
After reading your editorial on Facebook today, I googled which governmental body decides school boundaries and I found out that was the school board. Not only do we know nothing about the Supreme Court judges that the governmental authority places in office currently we also know nothing about the school board members until after an election.
Anyway, thanks for writing that. For several years, I’ve been trying to get together some people to go have a meeting with the state legislature about some education issues, but I need more information and teachers have no time.
