Mr. Hall,

I am writing this to offer myself to you for a frank, candid, and mutually respectful discussion of the issue of a second high school in Dublin. I read your recent blog post, and although you particularly singled me out, I think your concerns are sincere and worthy.

However, I refuse to respond via the blog because of attacks by folks who fail to reveal themselves. I understand the nature of blogs, but you have no idea the vile emails I have received stimulated by the blog. Perhaps if all of us treated people respectfully like you do in your posts we could have a more in-depth look at the problems. You seem to project that value in your comments.

This is not about the upcoming election, If you wish, we can wait to meet until after the election.

Like you I find it takes considerable words to articulate my thinking. If you wish to meet over coffee, please let me know. Thanks.

All they seem to be doing is to OVERlook the bad decisions made by the Board. Just look at how well the Oversight Committee worked out for Measure C. What a joke.

Progressive people with progressive ideas. Let us not be negative at what is here. Look at what we can do to what lies ahead. We can all make a difference. I have not lost the fight. I feel the fight has just begun. Dublin the bright star in the Tri Valley.<br/><br/>Jing Firmeza, Way to go!! Progressive people with progressive ideas. Let us not be negative at what is here.
