Plainfield's blogosphere burgeoned for a while, getting up to thirty links at one point, but then thinned down to just a handful or fewer of daily posters. Last week David Rutherford let me know about his new blog, which I recommend. The topics are varied and his perspective is interesting.
Besides being Plainfield's newest blogger, David is running for a seat on the Board of Education, but he mentions it only peripherally. I hope he will keep blogging and broaden out what has become a field of elders with his views as a young man.
Just to be politically correct, I will now note all the other candidates. David is on a slate with Board President Wilma Campbell and incumbent appointee Frederick Moore Sr., while another slate includes Richard Lear, Deborah Clarke and Anabella Melgar. Technically the school board election is nonpartisan, so as a voter you can choose any three candidates. Besides the Plainfield League of Women Voters candidates' forum on Oct. 30 (6 p.m. at Emerson School), there will be others, so go hear what they have to say and may the best three win.

Great to see young people getting involved!
ReplyDeleteThe Board President's name is Wilma Campbell, not Wilma Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that Mr. Rutherford has no public profile other that a small window into his cycling interests. Why should I pay attention to his blog? What do you know about him?
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to pay attention to him or any blogger if you don't feel like it. My point is that after local blogs went from one or two to thirty and back down to maybe four, it is of interest to have someone taking the trouble to do a new one.
