Congratulations to Susan Sundermeyer, Bob Catalini, John Kennan, and Frank Pannorfi on their overwhelming election to the School Committee and Board of Selectmen. The winners in both races showed substantial margins over their opponents -- there was no mistaking what the public sentiment was!
In the School Committee race, two political newcomers both beat a 21 year incumbent -- both of them by almost a 2-1 margin! This was no small victory --- unlike last year's lackluster election, THIS election was truly a mandate from the public. Apparently, people are tired of the unprofessional nonsense for which the 2010-2011 School Committee became famous. (Unfortunately, this reputation also went national when the wire services began publishing stories about the crazy Cape Cod School District who kept their Superintendent in an off-site basement.)
Thank you to everyone who turned out to vote and those that encouraged others to vote !!
The only folks who are probably more despondent than the outgoing School Committee Chair this morning would be the District's Soon-To-Be-Former Attorney as well as the Superintendent's Soon-To-Be-Former Secretary.
But, you know what they say --- "Karma is a Bitch!!"
