@ProPublica This is why you MUST prosecute these people. If you don’t they become emboldened to keep committing crimes because there are no consequences. Just like we need to do with our politicians and judges that commit crimes, they need to know there are and face consequences for their actions

@homerbrew @ProPublica These people do not just cause problems in meetings, they continue to cause problems for board members outside of meetings. My neighbor was a school board member for years. He quit once the attacks became personal and his car was vandalized. Nice man with a good heart who decided he had enough.
