THIS AND THAT

* Ken Hoover is running for the school board .
*Board Members Ernest Chism & Diane George attended Hoover's campaign rally
* Hoover is running against Board chairman David Pickler.
* It is unusual for board members to be involved in another district election other than their own.
* It would be hard for a body to work smoothly when they have tried to prevent each others election.
* This election is August 2010. Until then Chism & George must work with Chairman Pickler. It may be a tad tense in the meeting room.
* Is this an in-house rebellion ? Are the other Board members tired of Pickler's control ? Pickler has been a Board member & chairman for 12 years during which time he has greatly expanded the power of the chairman.
* This will be the first opposition Pickler has faced in 12 years . Pickler is the most high profile school board chairman ever. The Dude wears a letter jacket with chairman of the board embrioded across the front.
* The bottom line: Are the people tired of Pickler ? The question will be answered by the election.

MEMPHIS FOOTBALL
