Dear Editor,
Wesley Maxwell is a lucky man. He is in the
enviable position of not needing to worry about how
high his taxes are or the reason why they are so
high.
He seems to think George Heidcamp is
impugning Superintendent Rhau single-handedly. Not
so! My husband, William J. Brown, attended the
Meet-The-Candidates-For-Superintendent meeting. He
listened to each candidate speak. He remembers that
Mr. Rhau mentioned the school board at least nine
times. He mentioned the students once. He offered
nothing other than politicizing and buttering up
the school board.
When the slips were handed out to the
attendees to write their opinions, William wrote,
"Do not hire Mr. Rhau. He is a politician." This
was long before George Heidcamp.
Okay, so, yes, you can call us one of "Mr.
H's" followers! But only because he has given up
hours and hours of his time just to keep the public
informed and we are very appreciative. If not for
"Mr. H.," we would never have known how accurate my
husbands words were.
Just to add one more observation: Mr. Maxwell
listed the different superintendents we've has
since 1991. Hopefully, he's not blaming that on
George Heidcamp. The blame should be placed on the
people of Saugerties since we vote for the school
board members. They are the ones who have done the
poor hiring jobs. It is a tough job and the ones
who serve should be commended. However, those who
do decide to serve should remember they are
representing the people of Saugerties.
Sincerely,
Denise R. Brown
