Waiting....

The actions taken at last night's board meeting have created a sort of limbo in Lebanon that will last until about 8:30pm tonight.

Mr. Robinson deciding to take the money and leave was not surprising considering the mountain of questions that are starting to arise...people are asking questions and words and phrases such as "forensic audit" and "IDEA violations" etc. should send people running for the hills if even only half of the allegations made over the last few years are true.

However, last night's action is still in a void until today's vote is completed and we know whether we have a community united or divided.

Anything but a landslide on one side or the other will mean that we have a lot of hard work ahead of us. If the "yes" side wins, they will surely feel that it validates all that Jim Robinson was doing and will try to continue down that path. If the "no" side wins, they will surely feel that we need to clean house and start over with many things.

Only if the vote is so overwhelming that we can legitimately say the other side is a small but vocal minority will we be able to move in either direction with confidence. No matter which side wins... if it is close, we better start working together, or soon we will find ourselves in this same position, once again.

I would say that a 2 to 1 vote against the recall is great! Congrats to Rick and Josh.
