Denny/Sealth

I just listened to Mr. Munoz and Ms. Santorno in the small video clip (on the Herald Web site).

Once again Ms. Santorno fishes for any data she may be able to find after the fact rather than letting the data drive the decision.

She is full of philosophy rather than data. Show me the great situation created when you put 1,500 to 2,000 sixth through 12th graders on the same campus.

Why did the Seattle Public Schools team not visit Bellflower Middle/High School in Bellflower, Calif., to see thousands of seventh thru 12th graders sharing the same campus? There are very few schools like this and a visit will explain why. It is beyond my comprehension that someone wants to purposely create such a situation in Seattle.

"These projects would likely be restored in the next capital improvement bond," said Don Gilmore, project manager for the Building Excellence III program. Mr. Gilmore should not count the chickens before they hatch.

The Seattle Public Schools has blatantly lied to the public in the bond vote, which included no mention of co-location of Denny in either the voters guide or the ballot.

The voters may reject the next bond as the lies and deception have reached an intolerable level.

The only hope for passing the next bond will be the usual strategy of holding the kids hostage - help them with money or bad things will happen.

We give you the money and you give us bad things anyway.

How is anyone ever held accountable?
