		<description>I for one am tired of the negative campa and the lack of comprehension from people like Nicole, if that&#039;s even your real name lol! The minutes are there for you to read! Educate yourself and seek knowledge! Mr. Postlewaite is a good man, who done A LOT for this community! He has seen over our school district and he saw new schools built. 

This man deserves respect, he and the others on the bond oversight committee have proven that they asked for informatiom and were not given all pertinent information. what you failed to understand is that new board has made numerous decisions that have already effected us and will further effect us going forward! 

instead of fighting and arguing, maybe see the full picture. Don&#039;t try to dissparriage Mr. Postlewaite and Mrs. Soares, but rather come with ideas to better discuss this topic of debate. Be part of the solution and not part of the problem.</description>

		<description>Nicole, you have opted to criticize me as chair of the Bond Oversight Committee and that is perfectly okay with me.  Actually, I co-chaired the committee with Lynn Dredge. Lynn has drunk the HCCA kool aid so he is not one of their targets.  The Bond Oversight Committee was composed of 12 dedicated members who gave many hours of their time in an attempt to get answers.  So, it is not just me you criticizing, it is twelve very good people.  I don&#039;t know who you are Nicole but what I do know is you are not well informed.  Since you won&#039;t identify yourself I doubt that anyone attaches much credence to your cheap shots.</description>

Nicole, you sound like someone that was commenting on our No on I page. You blog the same way as an employee that has been a featured cheerleader over the years in board meeting minutes. Your comments about it being personal are the same thing the other person kept saying. Were you one of the video stars that lives in Visalia?

Please tell us how is it personal? Who is trying to take the hospital down?</description>

I&#039;m not targeting you. You seemed to have technical difficulties and the result on this end was a garble of gibberish. That&#039;s why I blocked the computers and not you. Your last comment is clean on my end and I&#039;m glad you&#039;re back. Please feel free to express your opinon. It&#039;s always welcome.</description>

She also fails to properly identify herself--but I&#039;ll let that slide, even though I&#039;m against one&#039;s masking one&#039;s identity. I blocked two of the computers she was using. The post that begins &quot;Me Dredge&quot; I found almost incomprehensible, and there are two replies to herself simply &quot;Mr.&quot; That said, I did not block her. I hope she resolves whatever English and technical challenges and rejoins us.</description>

		<description>Nicole, if you would just take some time to read through board minutes you would see that the oversight committee asked numerous times for accountability of the money, and they were not given this. Many times they did step forward, as they are now. I understand you&#039;re passionate about this, and you&#039;re entitled to your beliefs. But to make a personal attack without facts isn&#039;t fair. 

You have used specific names in blaming people but you&#039;ve left plenty of names out who are involved in the Yes on I campaign. My father was just one person on a committee and somehow he&#039;s solely to blame? Really?

Yes, people were given a job, that they volunteered for. What&#039;s interesting is that some of those people still serve on the board....should they be dismissed for not doing their job?</description>
