[Vision2020] The Company you keep

[keely emerinemix]

Jim Prall was listed as a contact at the bottom of the flier.

The HS student I know who called him up talked with him about it, and Jim 
was pleased to defend his part in the flier and the contents thereof, 
according to the young man.  Strange that neither he nor Janice would claim 
authorship, but both were proud to be a part of the flier's compilation, 
intent, distribution, and message.

Yeah, it's disappointing on a lot of levels.

I don't care to defend my vote. As an old guy with no children or 
grandchildren in local schools, I take a perhaps illogical pride in the fact 
I have always supported bond and levy votes, and I did that Tuesday.

I write this only to say that I don't think my friend Jim Prall would 
support passing out trash at the high school. Perhaps we will find out what 
really happened in the next few days.
