<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Friends and neighbors and those concerned about our
schools,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is time to consider <STRONG>what to do
if</STRONG> the legislature fails to protect our schools by preserving local
control and fails to act on providing equitable funding for our
system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It will become important to record for future
action those who are responsible for the outcome and reward those who support
education in rural Maine and to hold accountable those who are responsible for
changes that will weaken local control and ultimately close
schools.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Suggest that when the vote record is available that
it be posted on this site. If no record is available we should poll all
representatives and senators to get them on record as to their
vote.</FONT></DIV>
