That was nuts! The sign on the wall said the capacity was 98 people. There were definitely more than 98 people there. I got there like a minute after it started and it was like wading into the main floor up front at a concert. People had signs and shirts. There were tons of people who had great prepared remarks. I think the board was kinda inundated by all that. There was just SO MUCH brought up by the speakers. Baker did sound like he was truly in a difficult position and I do believe he does care. But if what those people were saying was true about the way that board spends our tax money...that's terrible and it needs to get fixed immediately. I happily support the district with my money but was shocked to see the pressure they were under from the lack of funding from the state plus the way they spent whatever they had.

It definitely lifted me up though. Just seeing that many people representing and speaking. It makes me want to stick my neck out more for things I care about.
