Neal Kleiner and Vladovich's Attack Mailer

Once again, another person who has met with Bob Bisno has resorted to attacking an opponent.

I cannot actually say whether Dr. Vladovich supports Bob's current plans for Ponte Vista, because I haven't seen anything from Dr. Vladovich to let me or anyone else know where he stands on this very important issue that will impact OUR local schools.

The election is tomorrow and I will make another pitch for all of you who have the opportunity to vote for Neal Kleiner, to do so.

Both candidates opposes any LAUSD school at Ponte Vista, so that argument for voting for Dr. Vladovich is moot.

Dr. Vladovich did meet at least once with Bob Bisno and Bob was sure proud to announce his meeting with Dr. Vladovich last February.

Mr. Kleiner is opposed to building 2,300 condominiums in northwest San Pedro. In fact he is pictured attending one of the several demonstrations outside the Ponte Vista site. There is no picture that I could find where Dr. Vladovich appeared in any opposition protest to Bob's current plans.

Now let me write about the attack mailer that came to my house today. Dr. Vladovich's campaign stresses the failures found at Muir Middle school during the time Mr. Kleiner was the Principal. I was looking for a listing of how the school did before Mr. Kleiner was the Principal, and after Mr. Kleiner retired from that postition. It seems the mailer fails to let us know how the school was doing prior to Mr. Kleiner's leadership, and we can't see how the school has faired since he was no longer the Principal.

It is probably true that the test scores failed to meet State requirements, but Vladovich's attack mailer did confirm that the scores, lower than the State mandates, were actually going up during the time Mr. Kleiner was the Principal.

Vladovich's attack mailer lists two school board as his "biggest backers". To me having existing members of the board back Mr. Kleiner's campaign is so much better than having a almost overzealous big city Mayor backing Dr. Vladovich so that Mayor can have undue influence over the entire Board of Education.

Local folks backing a local candidate for a local seat on a Board of Education sounds better to me, and I hope you, than a big city Mayor sitting in his downtown Mayor's office, trying to put his influence where the courts have repeatedly decided it just doesn't belong.

So to me, Neal Kliener is a better choice to lead our area on the Board of Education during a time when our schools could become very overcrowded by a developer who is trying to push his current plans on OUR community and using another candidate for the board seat to help do it, in my opinion.

As I have stated before, both men are qualified to take the seat they are seeking. I happen to strongly feel that Mr. Neal Kleiner would be much better suited to do that job for OUR schools, OUR local community, and OUR neighbors.

On Tuesday May 15, if you haven't done so already, please vote for Mr. Neal Kleiner.
