Gave me the run around and after three years, still nothing from the Board or the cemetery. Lord help them if someone else gets buried in it without my permission.

I spend quite a bit of time at both. For the past two years I've had major runnins with the school district and it's lack there of. To find out this horrific information about the cemeteries as well as the school systems lack of system is all connected to Bill Postlewaite is more than an irritation. Not only do I have to deal with the issues of my deceased loved ones but I also have to deal with the issues of my children. Apparently being determined to climb the school latter is not going to be my only goal anymore. I want my kids to have a good place to live and I have roots here. I live in the same house my grandparents did for over 20 years. This town needs people in positions of authority with a heart, compassion, an open mind and a drive to make the changes necessary to create a better town for generations to come.

So I looked up the cemetery district and found the mess that’s been going on, not surprising after finding out that Bill Postlewaite is involved. Everything you have touched, Bill, has major problems. I’m speaking of the Tulare School District to the TUlare Regional Hospital and now to the cemetery district!! No thanks!! I’ll look to Visalia!!

Among other erroneous statements made by Mr. Aguilar he knows full well that I as Board Chair was interviwed on multiple occasions by the District Attorney investigator. Stating no Board members were interviewed is a baffling and misleading comment. In reply to Alberto Aguilar.
