I did, as well as many others start with the question of "voter fraud." As I already stated, New York State law does not require ID for voters in school budget votes and/or referendums, and . . . the school never released the original voter sign-in sheet - although it was formally requested several times. So, a local businessman tried to get donations to fund a law-suit, but enough money was not raised. The school can just tax us when they want to spend money. We citizens, cannot.
As to the idea of "getting" involved? I've been to many school board and budget meetings here over the course of 30 years. I was also on the Town Board. To be a school board member, there are absolutely NO requirements in regard to skill level, education , etc. You just have to "run" and get the most votes. The result? It is a very rare event when somebody gets on the board that has skills, and any kind of real-world view, rather then a myopic academic view on matters. For an unpaid position with zero requirements, usually the only ones that get involved are those who want to expand the school system and increase spending. When the rare event does occur when somebody with common sense gets on the board, they usually step down pretty quick out of frustration.
Sorry, but I think the concept of "getting involved" and "making a difference" is a bit rediculous in today's world. Our leaders in this State are chosen, indirectly, by the Unions via legal extortion and vote promising, and the most powerful union in New York is the Teachers Union.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
