Barela story gains some traction.

D6 is no longer a lone voice in the wilderness; Joe Monahan
has made mention of the issue. link

Maybe some attention will be paid after all.

I have taken issue with Monahan's title; "Baiting Barela"
and have asked him for some clarification.

Monahan reports that Barela intends to slip the noose by
arguing that school boards are not partisan and therefore
exempt from a rule that applies to "public offices".

It is interesting that Monahan knows about a rules committee
meeting "set for today" and I have still not heard a word
from Lou Melvin, the rules committee chair, about any meeting
at all, and I am the complainant.
