Please remember to vote!

Tomorrow, April 8th, is a very important election for our area. The direction of the Mehlville School district for the next few years will be decided by your votes. We have three excellent candidates who realize that public education is a vital part of our democracy, and that all of our children matter, not just those who can afford a private education. They are Karl Frank, Erin Weber, and Drew Frauenhoffer. There are also three candidates who do not care about public education and whose views are libertarian in nature. They want no funding for any government run agencies, public schools being with-in that category. Their mission is to lower taxes by cutting resources necessary for the education of our students. This would have a negative impact upon our community, as educational achievement will decrease, people will not want to move here due to the decline in our schools, and therefore property values will decrease. It is a simple logic exercise, and I'm afraid that these three candidates are unable to follow this simple thought pattern. Please get out to vote tomorrow and help our kids succeed.
