Not only is Andy Staton the only announced Democrat running for the new state senate district down here in Sussex (and I'm in the new district), he's also the only announced candidate to have filed a campaign finance report.

Red Clay Referendum And City Schools

23 Comments
The Red Clay Consolidated School District is holding a Capital Referendum on February 28, 2012. Included in this referendum is the addition of another new suburban elementary school. Let me begin by saying that I wouldn't have a problem with the new school if Red Clay would ensure that its other schools didn't suffer when a new school opened. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. In the past 10 days my email has been filled with letters from community advocates and parents from the Highlands, Warner and Shortlidge community. Everyone has the same concern: New schools hurt existing schools, especially city schools. The evidence backs up their concerns.
