Yesterday, Valene Harris issued a statement disassociating herself from the fliers that Voices 4 Delaware Education, run by Greg Harris out of Ohio, are sending on her behalf.
What she didn’t say or do was:
- Stop.
- Why does she believe they are attacking the very board she wishes to serve on
- Who donates money to them and why she is OK with their tax shielded secrecy.
- Ask them to file reports, even if not required by law to open themselves up to the scrutiny that Delaware voters are entitled to exercise in an election year.
- Tell voters about the plan these fliers are touting.
In short, she offered a weak handed statement that amounts to whacking the dog on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. If you ask me, her statement seems crafted to have just the effect it does: attacking the flier makers just enough to please some voters but not so much that they can’t continue their full frontal assault on voters.
Sad.
