Don’t vote part of Berkeley’s fiscal disease into county office
Editor:
Jackie Fox Ruby should withdraw immediately from the County School Board Race, Berkeley's ever deepening fiscal mess didn't happen overnight. Career employee Jackie Fox Ruby was either incapable of understanding the developing mess or she chose not to inform Berkeley's citizens!
The revelations of overpaying staff and payment to former staff, are events Jackie Fox Ruby should have known were wrong.
It is bad enough that Berkeley has to focus on fixing the mess so that education will again be the focus of our schools.
We don't need to send Berkeley's fiscal and management diseases to the County School Board. Jerry Wiggins has been critical that Berkeley's Schools were not doing enough for our children, especially those at risk. This attitude coupled with his experience makes him the best hope for all of our children and therefore the only candidate worthy of your vote on March 5.
