Who were we elected to serve?




We were elected to serve the students.  We were elected to serve the taxpayers.  We were elected to serve the entire Lodi community.


We weren’t elected to serve a machine boss that doesn’t live in Lodi.  We weren’t elected to serve the political families angling for jobs and promotions that they don’t deserve.  We weren’t elected to blindly rubber-stamp a superintendent.  We weren’t elected to hand out gifts with other people’s money.


How out of touch is the corrupt machine with this statement?


“It is our job to stand behind the Superintendent of Schools and trust his or her judgement and recommendations. Current board members talk negatively about those that they were elected to serve.
