When RoseAnn Kwaks' letter to the editor first appeared in the paper, I joked to a friend that this is an example of those members of the Budget Committee who voted against her being too careful. Instead of pointing out the many concerns that people have with her representing our community, they used language like "fresh look" and "a different constituency...the younger part of Newmarket."
There wouldn't be the potential for lawsuits right now if they had just pointed out that she has historically been unsupportive of the teachers and schools in Newmarket. But there was no mention of those concerns during the Budget committee's discussion of the candidates.
In an article on Friday's Seacoastonline, RoseAnn said "When they were saying youth, it was code for a certain agenda. A pro-school agenda."
Well, I guess she said it herself--it's not really about her age. It is about the fact that people disagree with her stance on funding education in Newmarket.
Our community can't move forward unless people can balance both the desire to keep taxes low and our infrastructure needs and we need to elect people to boards and committees who represent that balance.
