Tom,
   
  Your premise is incorrect. It was not the election 15 years ago that was illegal, it was the absence of one in the last 15 years. 15 years is a long time to go without affirmation by the people. How many of those people that voted for the bond in 1992 are still in the MSD? We don't know if 2/3 of the people still support the current bond because it was so long ago that we voted, and it was at a time when the student population in public schools was much higher. 15 years is entirely too long to ignore taking a vote.

  This same question was posed to Dr. Weitz by one of our elected officials.  He, too, has yet to answer.
   
  Just answer the question, Arnold.

    Tom, 

     

    We already answered your question about 75 times. It is unfortunate that you cannot understand the coherent emails because it really would cut down on your incoherent ones. 

     

    Best,

    “We have a constitution, and the school district is not above the Idaho State Constitution even if a majority of the people that vote cast ballots for it and wish to ignore the rights of the minority that are protected by it.”

     

    And yet the question remains unanswered:  Why has it taken fifteen years to pursue an “action” that (by Arnold’s judgment) was so evident?

      Andreas,


       


      You are wrong, it is the job of the judicial branch to determine if an election was held legally or not. That is in part why it exists. We don't vote on segregation in the schools like in the 1950s, we don't vote on if girls can get a public education, as Afghanistan does. MSD is only authorized to hold certain kinds of elections, not any kind of election it wants for whatever reason it wants. We are not an absolute democracy. We have a constitution, and the school district is not above the Idaho State Constitution even if a majority of the people that vote cast ballots for it and wish to ignore the rights of the minority that are protected by it. 


       


      Best,


       


    Donovan
