FBISD: Carreon Will Remain On The Ballot

This FBW exclusive just into FBISDWatchdogs:

After an extensive interview with Rodrigo Carreon, candidate for school board running against Daniel Menendez for the position 4 at large seat currently held by retiring board president Cindy Knox, it has been brought to our attention that school officials will not challenge his position on the ballot. This became an issue over the last two weeks when the Fresno/Arcola area water board appeared to be questioning whether or not Carreon could appear on both ballots. No legal challenge has been issued by either the water board or the school district office as of this posting.

One primary concern of the watchdogs was if the water board or school district was successful at pressuring Mr. Carreon off the ballot then there was a great possibility of one subdivision ending up with 3 seated board members thus creating an effective block of votes involving property owners taxes and bond/debt use.

See post below this one for background on this local controversy and stay tuned as we update this blog...
