I've been slacking in my blogging in general, but especially in my blogging about local issues. Just for clarification ... Mangan was a member of the District 303 school board (the high school district), but he didn't run for re-election last year, so he's no longer in public service. Other than the occasional letter to the editor in the <i>Daily Times</i>, Mr. Mangan has been pretty quiet lately. Bacon has been a member of the District 108 school board (the elementary / middle school district) for a long time. I believe he's in his fourth term, and I'm pretty sure he plans to run again in 2009. He ran for mayor in 2003, with Lyn Howard narrowly beating him in the primary election by about 40 votes. Bacon, Mangan and Mike Noyes (who submits frequent editorials to the <i>Times</i>) are three peas in a pod. Bacon is entitle to his opinion in regards to the bids in question, and he expressed that opinion by voting against awarding the bid to Johnson Control Systems. However, to take this matter to the State's Attorney is either sour grapes or grand-standing, and its wasting time and money. Thanks for the post & the link, Billy.
