Fireworks burst near the end of the East Cooper School Board candidate forum Wednesday night, but lack of time prevented the spectators from full enjoyment.
Some politically incorrect audience member questioned the independence of the four candidates--Barter, Ramich, Lecque, and Garrett--from Ginny Deerin's slate. Denials sputtered as the moderator called for closing remarks.
Where does the money for the Deerin slate come from? Much of it from the Chamber of Commerce, which has controlled the board for the last few years. With the election of these four, it will maintain control into the future.
Whose board is this, anyway?

None of these 4 candidates seem to know anything about Charleston schools, but someone is really trying hard to make them familiar names to voters. How accessible will they be after the election if any of them are elected? I doubt any of them will be. It seems they will do as they are told and no more. Why would anyone vote to place more chamber of commerce stooges on this board?
