Tom Hylton…..Ad nauseam

Seriously Rick, you need to reign in Hylton.  It should be forbidden for a school board member to arbitrarily post their “editorials” and “plans”  in the Mercury, independent of the rest of the school board.  The board is a unit, Tom is a cog.  The board needs to make statements from the board as a whole. 

Y’all need to pass a rule that stops this nonsense.  I make a motion that forbids school board members from putting ads in the Mercury advertising their position on the issues!  Who will second it?!?
