Carol Comeau-She Never Saw a Bond She didn’t Like. Under Carol Comeau's administration Anchorage Residents saw spending increase year after year, yet very little return for their dollar. Granted things are higher in Alaska. The private sector is about 35% more on average. However, government appears to be 2.5 times the national average and the Anchorage School district is no different. Across the lower forty-eight many schools spend only a fraction of what Anchorage does. Yet they’re doing a better job. You see Carol like so many bureaucrats love free market competition when it benefits them. However, Carol always protected her turf. She doesn’t want to compete. She doesn’t believe in vouchers. In other words she doesn’t think parents should have a choice. Forget about that Constitution and Freedom thing.
Anchorage certainly needs a new way of thinking in terms of education. The spirit of competition needs to prevail. Perhaps if Carol had spent more time in the private sector she might understand competition a little more. Perhaps she might understand the huge burdens excessive spending puts on the economy. But hey NEA members never understand. I’ve often heard that she is a nice lady. I’m sorry nice just isn’t good enough. Anchorage residents work hard for their money and deserve better and the only way they’re going to get it is this is to fill the school board and the superintendent positions with folks from the private sector instead of the NEA sector.
