Every newspaper that has made an endorsement on this election has recommended that the incumbent trio be replaced.
“There is no choice but to vote them out,” says the Phoenicia Times/Olive Press. “We have to remember this is about the quality of our community’s education, and not just taxes. And we have to get beyond allowing one block of voters to decide all Onteora matters.”
"We believe that we give up too much by implementing the Grade 5-8 middle school plan,” says the Woodstock Times. “And thus we support those who seek a moratorium on the plan and urge you to vote for Ralph Legnini, Laurie Osmond, Donna Flayhan and Ann McGillicuddy."
“We ask our readers to support the challengers in this election May 20th so this ill-advised reshuffling of the school district does not happen without more scrutiny and the help of experts,” says the Ulster County Townsman.
We thank these papers for their support and remind you to vote Tuesday May 20, 2-9pm at your town elementary school.
