Editor's Notes

  1. November’s elections give you a chance to rate the performance of your elected leaders. Now is your chance to talk with current and potential office holders and gauge their commitment to public education and technology. As community leaders, you can shape the issues and ask tough questions. You can ask for commitments, discuss voting records, and change or influence the agenda in Montgomery.
