CCR 04-21-12: Change Happens


the   Controversial  Committee   Report
“We don’t raise sacred cows...we just butcher them.”
     For the Irving city council and the ISD elections, staff of the CCR would recommend the following candidates for your consideration.  
     There are two reasons why you should give this some serious thought: 1) None of the individuals recommended are incumbents; 2) None of the individuals use weasel words to gloss over the problems and issues that have led to your taxes being higher, contracts and agreements increasing overall debt, or fiscal malfeasance and lack of oversight in carrying out their duties as elected officials.  Additionally, the campaigns for these individuals are not funded by developers, special interest groups or PACs.
     If you really desire change in these two governing bodies, then vote: 
Early Voting:  April 30 to May 8
Election       :  May 12, 2012
     Remember, the CCR believes that if you don’t vote, then you have no right to complain!
CITY COUNCIL
District 4:  Joe Putnam
District 6:  Brad LaMorgese
District 8:  Tom Spink  (At-large district, everyone can vote in this race.)
SCHOOL BOARD
Place 3:  Larry Stipes
Place 4:  Norma Gonzalez
