    Thumbs up Pro-mascot candidates win seats in Lancaster

    Great job by the people of Lancaster!! Two more next year.

    2 incumbents ousted as budget is passed.

    This is what people have to start doing clean out the Libs.




    Lancaster School District voters, angry about the abrupt retiring of their mascot, tossed out two incumbents who voted to do away with the mascot that was beloved by many and deemed racist by others.

    However, as nasty as the Redskins debate has raged in the community for months, voters overwhelmingly backed the new budget, a bus proposition and a $57.3 million capital project, which some had feared could have been in jeopardy because of the mascot controversy.

    As soon as the unofficial vote results were posted in the high school gymnasium, a group of Redskins supporters surrounding Brenda Christopher and Kelly Depczynski erupted in shouts of victory, clapping and hugging the two women who unseated incumbents Wendy Buchert and Kimberly Nowak, who had voted with the board to retire the mascot in March. Newcomer Wendy DellaNeve lost her bid for election.

    One man shouted to the administration and School Board members: “Time for a change!”

    About 75 residents, faculty and onlookers had gathered to hear the results, which were announced shortly after 9:30 p.m. All three propositions for the district budget, an ambitious capital project and transportation proposition to buy new buses passed overwhelmingly. The voter turnout was especially high at 5,309 but did not break a record of about 6,000 during a vote in the 1980s. “The people have spoken. We have finally been heard,”
    God must love stupid people; He made so many

    the mascot name change issue should have been on the ballot
    Vote for freedom, not political parties.
    Politicians need to cut spending

    Sounds a lot like "Hope and Change" without any specifics. I thought only Libs vote like that.

    The students see the wisdom in acting like mature adults and are choosing a new name - the adults are acting like spoiled kids and just cant let it go !

    The Mascot name as we knew it is gone - grow up !

    If that's the only reason you care about school board elections - your vary narrow minded ! End it .
    #Dems play musical chairs + patronage and nepotism = entitlement !
