This combined with his request to postpone his evaluation leads me to believe that he is attempting to influence the results of the November election.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-56144033851709925512014-08-14T21:35:17.474-04:002014-08-14T21:35:17.474-04:00Amanda Ferguson supports all the students and st...Amanda Ferguson supports all the students and stands up for what she thinks is right and has a lot of backbone.

They have asked the tough questions and not settled for anything less than the truth. On many occasions, they have cast the "right" vote knowing they would be outnumbered by the remaining rubber stampers on the current BOE. They voted their conscience and served their constituents honorably. On occasion, they have bluntly defended themselves against vicious personal attacks by business people with no REAL interest in our kids or our schools. They have been honest, transparent and responsive. What more could we want in an elected representative? I truly fear the day that either of these two members are no longer serving. We do not need nor desire more rubber stampers completely out of touch with the FCPS students and families..we have more than our fair share of that now. No voter, truly concerned about the kids of FCPS, would cast a vote for anyone besides Doug or Amanda. We need to re-elect them in November....by a landslide. We will then turn our eyes to some new representatives in 2016. True representatives in, rubber stampers out! #reelct2014 #replace2016Sharon Mofield-Boswellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-69926321038928174662014-08-13T21:22:04.619-04:002014-08-13T21:22:04.619-04:00I think Murray has no chance of beat Amanda Fergus...I think Murray has no chance of beat Amanda Ferguson. Ferguson has won twice there and knows that district too well. <br /><br />I think Barnett-Cleveland could get very, very ugly, particularly if all the back stories going around in this one are true. I can see the business community getting active in this one because Barnett ticked a lot of them off with his honesty during the budget vote. Telling off Mike Scanlon might have won him votes by itself. This one could be the most competitive election in Fayette County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
