Fake facebook pages!!!

So it seems like there are two fake mayoral candidates face book pages floating around.  One for each announced candidate, Howie Hanson and Emily Larson.  The fake pages are here, www.facebook.com/Emily Larson for Mayor and www.facebook.com/Howie Hanson for Mayor.

It is clear  both of the pages are fake and here are just a few reason's. Each page has few likes, Larson 3 and Hanson 18.  Not to mention both sites have pictures I don't think either one would use for profile pic's.  The content is not what you would expect from either Emily or Howie.

The about section of the fake Larson page I'm going to clean up the mean streets of Duluth. This is protected under the 1st amendment and the right to criticize political figures.

The about section on Hanson's fake page is not as bad as Larson's.  


Now why would some one run these fake page?  Well knowing who it is that is behind these after some investigation the answer is very simple.  The person thinks it is  funny however,  it is just childish.  It is sad that a grown adult would act like a 3 year old on a consistent base. This person leans to the right of center and that is fine, what is not okay is spending countless or any time on such petty acts.

Johnston investigation cost are out.

Tax payers are you ready to pay $43,000 for a completed investigation?  Regardless of your thoughts on the Art Johnston issue this is insane.  A friend of mine said on facebook that there are no heroes in this and I could not agree more!!!!  

The law firm billed the school district for 205 hours of work on the case at 210 dollars and hour, resulting in the 43,000 bill.   Think where we could have spend this money on education!!!! 

school board races will be interesting.

Well well well, it seems like our Mayor's race may have a close second as to what people will be watching this up coming up election.  One would think right away yeah the council races simply not true they seem to be falling back as far as being interesting.

The most interesting will for sure be our Mayor's race but right behind that is our school board races, for a couple of reason's.  The Art Johnston issue and will he be removed from the board and what impact will it have on the races. Also now it seems as one side of the red plan is going to kick it up a little bit.

First I think any action taken in Johnston case is going to hurt any school board member regardless of there vote.  I think that is why two board members are not seeking re-election, Is there any wonder why good people don't want to run for the school board now.  We need people that will work for our children and education.

Second I have heard that a group of citizens are organizing to make this election about all the people that where put out or off by the red plan.  This group is going to be vocal about why there are not heard by the administration.

This is sad as it is only going to cause more disruption to what the focus should be our children and education.
