NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: If You Won’t Vote For Yourself, Who Will?
Lisa Osborn ran as a write-in candidate to fill one of two vacant seats on the Bentley, MI, Board of Education but did not receive a single vote. Not even her own, The Flint Journal reports:
Osborn said she was at her son’s baseball game at Flint Southwestern Academy and didn’t vote on May 3. …
“I (thought I) would have gotten a vote,” she said. “I had plenty of people I know that would have gone up there and voted.” …
Board secretary Toby Bauldry said she was glad Osborn wasn’t elected to the board - since “she couldn’t find the time to go and vote for herself.”
“That’s understandable,” said Osborn of Bauldry’s reaction. “I should probably come to more meetings and know more about what’s going on. It was a dumb move.”
Osborn plans to apply for the seat, because “We just don’t know what’s going on really, I guess,” but it’s open to debate whether Osborn will ever know what’s going on.
