DUer running for school board

My daughter, Jane Rusch, is running for Wausau School Board. This would be her third term. There are two other good people running, Theresa Miles and Dale Lawson. There is a real threat to one seat on the board from a Tea Party candidate, Matt Young. His buddy on the board stirred up a tempest in a tea pot and accused the current members of cheating. It's too convoluted to go into here but believe me there was no cheating.

We have one Tea Partier on the board and don't need another. Their modus operandi is to stir up a controversy and than target vote for their candidate.

and a really beautiful person in thought and deed....

I wish her all the luck in the world...she has served honorably and brilliantly and the citizens of Wausau should be proud of her.

We have two tea-partiers running for school board here...they have a stated goal of taking over the school board, city council and county board...

they are bat-shit-crazy and will do nothing but torpedo, tear down, defund, christianize and generally ruin any institution they touch.

Go get 'em Jane.
