VOTE FOR A BETTER BOARD: VOTE HEMINGWAY, RICHMAN, YATES AND LIEBIG

Mary Murphy writes in support of Save Hoover's candidates Phil Hemingway, Brian Richman, Tom Yates, and Chris Liebig in the September 2 Press-Citizen:

Vote Hemingway, Richman, and Yates for the four-year Iowa City Community School District board seats. Vote Liebig for the two-year seat. We need board members who listen to and let the community speak, will ask the right questions, and are competent to oversee the education of our children. Please vote to build a better board.
Phil Hemingway is honest and smart. He lives in a multi-cultural, bilingual household, appreciates diversity and his family includes his wife and their child, who is pursuing a degree in chemical engineering. Plus, Phil stays informed about current ICCSD issues and asks responsible tough questions of ICCSD’s administration for our children’s betterment.
Brian Richman, a local parent and expert in public financing, comprehends that future facilities planning must be carefully managed or the costs will be out of control. He, among all candidates, best discerns the benefits and perils of ICCSD’s planned long-term debt financing strategy.
Chris Liebig, with a Yale degree, is a Harvard lawyer, who has the capability to understand curriculum, assessments and IEPs. Plus, he strongly supports the arts.
Tom Yates, a retired teacher, brings an important necessary perspective about children and their classrooms to the board.
Now is the time to elect board members who will be passionate about our children’s education, competent to handle all fiduciary responsibilities, and honest. Vote Hemingway, Richman, Yates and Liebig.
