Mr. Farrell spoke at the last board meeting about pride and what it means to him, and what he is proud of and what he takes pride in. We have NO beef with Mr. Farrell, actually he is one of the more reasonable members of the board majority. We appreciate that he make his decisions, and casts his vote with his conscience. We only wish more would do the same.

We too are proud and take pride in where we live..here in Morrisville. We as a community need to come together as a community and make Morrisville better. We need to do this in the open, not in secret meetings, or behind closed doors. Pride is part of what makes a community strong. School pride is what brings a community together for sporting events and school functions.

This blog is for all of Morrisville. We do our best to give you the facts. It just so happens that the facts don't shine a positive light on the "stay on track" team, regardless of what P.W. is up to. On November 3, vote with your conscience. By now you know who the candidates are and as for the incumbents you know their records. When you go to the polls, do not be intimidated. If the gentleman that opens the curtain for you tells you what buttons to push, tell him it's illegal to do that and he will be reported. This happened in the May primary, do not let it happen again.

A school system is the hub of a community. We need a strong board that will make decisions that are in the best interests of the people and town, not just themselves and their small group. Vote with pride on November 3.
