The Star-Tribune says that Doug Mann and Michael Atherton
(not in alphabetical order) "are not quite up to the task of being
good school board members." (full quote below) Considering
the Star-Tribune's steadfast support for the status quo, I am
honored by the Star-Tribune's anti-endorsement.

The entire paragraph reads,
"Of those who agreed to be interviewed, two were the most poorly prepared for
school board service. And while they seemed sincerely interested in school
issues, both were somewhat narrowly focused on personal concerns. Doug Mann,
a 45-year-old licensed practical nurse, and Michael Atherton, a 52-year-old
graduate student, are not quite up to the task of being good school board
members."
