That on the eve of the murder of Officer Tyler Timmons of the Pontoon Beach PD by some animal with no future, our school board just swore in a woman who puts our police below those types of criminals.
I'll never forget the outpouring of love that was shown to our neighbors in the Village when this young officer was gunned down and his comrades so desperately tried to save him.
Now, a year later we install a board member who, if judged by her public comments on FB is a cop hating racist.
Ms. Bryant, you were appointed by four tonight. Next April thousands of Granite City residents will have their voices heard and you'll be a very short-term member. I hope you realize you were used.
And as for the four who supposedly searched a field of candidates, only to come up with this hateful woman, you too will feel the wrath of the ballot box.
Dennis Wilmsmeyer, Erica Venne, Linda Knogel, you achieved your goal, but it did not go un-noticed. As for the fourth vote, he's not running again, or he would be listed here as well.
I pray that I live until April so I can work against these people in the next election. One more year dear Lord, one more year.they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

If Ms. Bryant is still on the job next year that will be a huge indicator in which way this area is headed. I guess we will find out soon enough, so stick around Opinionated. Jordan Walker is more than likely going to get the Epstein treatment for his actions. Better get in Witness Protection.

Apparently the voters had enough faith in these people to elect them. I don't see them going anywhere any time soon. If you think you can do better,,,,why not run? It's really easy to sit back and criticize but not do your part.
We are talking about the same board members who are in favor of hiring people outside of the district,,,,so what do you expect?

I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I'm pretty sure being appointed and being elected are two different things. Now as to whether she gets to stick around, the voters will decide that. Some think it's a forgone conclusion that she will be ousted and maybe they are right. I'm not quite as willing to accept that as a given at this time. Jordan Walker is more than likely going to get the Epstein treatment for his actions. Better get in Witness Protection.

Teri, in my opinion they made a huge mistake this time. I’ve supported the BOE before but this appointment was merely an effort to secure the contract renewal of the superintendent.
I agree with your statement about hiring outsiders but time and test scores will prove if that move was right.they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

She might have great-grandchildren in the district though. I really dont care how old she is, but her radical views are not something i hope Granite city will embrace. But i have a feeling she isnt going to be as easy to force into being a 6 month rental as some may think. We will find out soon enough. Jordan Walker is more than likely going to get the Epstein treatment for his actions. Better get in Witness Protection.

Meadow, In all fairness, I don't think we should make fun of her looks but there is a strong resemblance to the other picture, I will admit.
In our golf outing this morning one of the group said this woman hasn't voted in several elections. I don't know how this could be verified but it does make one wonder why she is suddenly interested.
I had heard that rumor before so it may just be a rumor. Blue, maybe you could clarify?
Either way, I stand by my belief that she either won't run for the seat in April or she'll be in last place. they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

If you vote in an election, it is public knowledge. Who you voted for is not. The party you are alleged to can be assumed, if you vote in the primaries. The data base for this information can be downloaded from the County. "Life only comes from life" ~ Louis Pasteur (Law of Biogenesis)
