Ok Jpc...
I understand that you truly believe that the trailers are substandard and possibly dangerous.
You need two things to make your cause believable and worthy.
1) You need proof that they are dangerous. Yes, Trailers catch fire. So do people. Ever hear of Spontaneous Human Combustion? You need to prove that these trailers are dangerous by finding out how many of these trailers are used in the US, and just how many have caught fire and how many students have been hurt while attending classes in these trailers. I can tell you that even colleges all across the nation use trailers for classrooms as well. Ever been on base? Any base? Barracks of any kind? business park? Large corporation? They ALL use trailers and have been doing so for more than 30 years! So PROVE to me that these are more dangerous than any other building. PROVE to me that they are dangerous to our students. I've heard your facts. We all know about the local fire. It was an accident and not a single person was hurt.
2) You STILL have not provided a SINGLE idea for an IMMEDIATE alternative to using trailers. All you have is a gripe, a complaint. The voters have enough complaints. They aren't going to vote for a candidate that has nothing but complaints.
Voters want ideas. They want plans. They want to see how YOUR plan will save the county MONEY and tax dollars. They want to see how YOUR plans will provide a better IMMEDIATE solution providing a better condition for their students to get an education than what the trailers do.

Yesterday August 17th, the St. Mary's County Public schools had a "welcome to the 2006 - 2007 school year" at the St. Mary's College Recreation Center and it was called "All Hands On Deck" and I was invited RSVP and I went and thought it was a very nice event and the whole Rec Center was crammed overfull and all our area schools had a group there representing each school.
1) It started with the parade - "Charting a course to Excellence" by the High School Drum Lines and Flag Corps.
2) The welcoming comments given by the Chief Operating Officer.
3) Presentation of Colors by the High Schools' JROTC.
4) Pledge of Allegiance lead by the SMCPS Teacher of the Year.
5) Then the Star Spangled Banner sang by a student from Dynard Elementary school.
6) School slogan in song of "Work Hard and Be Nice" sang by the Park Hall Elementary School Chorus.
7) The Greeting comments given by the Chairman, Board of Education of SMC.
Introduced by a student from Park Hall Elementary School.
8) The Keynote Speaker was the Superintendent of Schools.
Introduced by the Student member of the Board of Education.
9) A message from Our Students - Rainbow.
10) Song "We are Family" done by Peace Pipers of Chopticon High School.
11) Video presentation of the schools and students.
12) Closing remarks by the Chief Academic Officer.
Her closing was so well done that it stole the whole show.

other than the obvious 'JPC is a total freaking idiot', Is there a point in there somewhere.

I do not want students having their classes under shade trees. I want the students inside the school buildings. The Relocatable trailers are more a matter of values then a matter of opinion. I want to bring a much higher standard to St. Mary's County and I want to improve that low standard that the schools have now in using those trailers.
tirdun said:Trailers exist. Relocatable trailers exist. "Fire box" trailers do not exist. The phrase and concept is a construct of your drooling lunacy.
By that logic we should live, commute and work in the outdoors, since that's the only place that's safe. Your platform can now include "Live like cavemen" alongside your daring "Do not like crime" and "Cops are OK" positions.

So what is your recommendation, pack more kids into each classroom until such time as new schools are built?JPC said:

We need to stop the overloading of our infrastructure and stop the out of control growth and build smaller safer school buildings and it will take some time to get rid of those second rate trailers but the sooner we get started the sooner the trailers will be gone, and that means getting the sell out politicians out in 2006.

The plan is to stop the growth that is causing the overload of our entire infrastructure, and then put hard controls on any future growth. Getting rid of those fire box trailers will take a while and money is already available by changing priority away from accommodating the growth to doing sensible gov, but if I do not get elected then the second rate inferior conditions will get worse as the growth continues out-of-control as it is now.
Here is a link to Friday's Enterprise with another letter from a citizen of 29b asking for the growth to be controled. The writer is urging the County Commissioners to not change the zoning from residential to commercial as she does not want 29b turned into "Waldorf" as she said.

This is just rhetorical bullsh!t. How are you going to stop growth? Will you give Mr. Smith that nice 80 year-old man a lethal injection when 26 year-old Ms. Johnson has her next baby? After all he must have had a full life by now. Will you sterilize her after the birth so that she will have no more? Two is more than enough for any family, right? What about the Robertson’s from DC that wants to come down and build on their property that they have owned for thirty years, will you simply say no, you can’t build on your property we’ve become too crowded?JPC said:

With or without the base being here the area will continue to grow simply from the fact that the world population is continuing to grow, we are breeding more then are dying. Also as being on the eastern coast you will notice that the population is concentrated heavily in this area, thus we see greater increases every year.
Nothing short of a communist state with forced birth control and life limits can control population growth and the only way to avoid further impact from that growth is for people like you that are so upset about it is to go out and purchase every piece of property there is so that you can do with it what you like. Short of that you are just pissing in the wind.
