Re: the Aug. 25 column “TUSD’s Stegeman finds another reason to vote ‘no.’”
Thanks to columnist Tim Steller for explaining why we should continue to support Mark Stegeman on the TUSD board. Steller explains that Stegeman voted against Sanchez because his résumé was not strong enough for the job; that turned out to be right. He writes that Stegeman voted against Pedicone’s contract extension because the timing was bad, just before the election. Two months later Pedicone’s favored candidates lost and he decided to terminate his contract prior to the extension taking effect. Stegeman was right again. Steller’s tortured explanation is that Stegeman repeatedly votes “no” to establish deniability later. How about the more obvious explanation: Stegeman has been right when it comes to TUSD superintendents.
