Thanks to those of you who participated in my two polls.
The majority of you found that Ms. Balzarini did not behave appropriately when questioned by Commissioner Jolley. Whether somebody likes somebody or not or doesn't like the questions being asked, professionalism and civility must prevail.
The school levy poll took on a life of its own. In fact, the votes had changed so much it was thought on Tuesday that maybe somebody was tweaking the numbers.
Yesterday, I received an e-mail that indicated a former member of the school board sent an en masse e-mail telling everyone to vote in favor of the levy. And evidently they did. I also received at least 25 visits from Georgetown University during the past two days, which seems just a tad coincidental, considering they were only on the site for a second or two (just enough time to vote)? I might also add that almost all of these visits came from different IP addresses.
Even though this poll was about as unofficial as it gets, it showed that the levy is a hot topic and for some, generated a "grass roots effort" to show support for it.

Good analysis of the results. Thanks......
Seems to me that if you take off the 25 votes from the same place then you would have 54 votes for the levy and 49 votes against the levy almost the same numbers that were steadily in your poll from the beginning. The mass email tipping the scale a wee bit but not as much as your poll now shows.
Interesting that just this morning there is a letter to the Editor of the Tribune in support of the levy, from a 2006 graduate of GFH, who now attends...(drum-roll please) Georgetown University!
I read that too. An interesting coincidence.
