I go to the School Board meetings. The School Board always has done what we have expected.

Somebody who came down here four years ago and never goes to School Board meetings or workshops, I don't think that carries a lot of weight.

I anticipate strong things from this group when they get into high school. The eighth-graders and sixth-graders are strong, too.

If I knew that I wasn't going to be able to watch high school football games or City Council meetings, I'd be upset. Do these senators actually sit down and watch public access TV?

I am going to ask for more meetings with the Finance Committee, with the School Committee. I want more community problem-solving. I want to identify the iceberg before it hits.

Out of all the T-shirts that are worn to school every day, a student cannot express pride in his Southern heritage at William Blount High School.
