A new School Board member for Pocola
Tuesday was vote day for Pocola. A new school board term came up. There were only 2 candidates to choose from. I personally do not really know either one. I was (I guess should not be) surprised neither really campaigned. I only seen one (the one that that won the term) put a ad in Spiro paper, the other did nothing. Rather, I was told he did nothing. Neither called nor contacted me. Personally, I contacted the board members during my campaign.
It does sadden me candidacy puts so little effort in creating a platform of "why I want this responsibility", rather than lean on whoever is better known in town.
I called the Election Board today to get the final vote. 102-80. Not much of an outcome for the town either, if you consider there was nearly 4000 in population for the year 2000.source.
Oh well. We have a special board meeting this next Monday night. Looks like we will be bringing in the new guy.
