    Well, gotta say that his performance in a crisis didn’t leave him in a very good light. From school superintendent to responding officers and up to the chief, not impressed.Wouldn’t want or re elect any of them in the future for darned sure. Over 30 minutes with our students under siege and no one inside to defend them?? Unimaginable. Another one of these things, forgive “maybe” but darned sure, “Never Forget”.
