John Crooks was a no-show at Wheeler High School last night.  He and Dr. Beth Farokhi were supposed to share the stage to discuss education issues. [Sponsored by the Wheeler and Walton HS PTSA's] Dr. Farokhi made an excellent presentation, but a lot of us who attended in hopes of learning more about both candidates prior to the school board election were disappointed that we only heard from one.

No reason was given for the no-show, but the fact that Crooks did not even send a biographic sketch might indicate that he feels he not only doesn't have to ask voters for their support, but does not even have to tell us who he is or why he is qualified to be our representative. 

Maybe he thinks he will be elected no matter what he does. If that is the case, he can be assured he will not have my vote.
