Mike Forney: Petition time?

Steamboat Springs — Have these people learned nothing from the consequences of their previous actions?

And John DeVincentis questioning what most in business would recognize as legitimate extra compensation when an employee is asked to step in and manage their job and the work of their former supervisor.

Hello, folks! Did you miss the fact that a recall petition failed despite the signatures of more than 2,000 eligible voters, because hundreds of signers put down their post office box rather than their physical address?



Did you miss the fact that the voters swept out every incumbent they could because of profound disgust with the old School Board?

Only two of the “old school” remain. Their act has not changed. Hopefully the new team members will bring some common sense to the board’s decision-making.



Even so, perhaps it’s time for another petition.
