Don't take poor advice

Soon voters will decide who they want on the Delaware Valley School Board. Incumbents will be judged by their accomplishments. First time candidate’s will be judged by what they will bring to the DVSB. All candidate’s will bring their experience and skills to serve the community. It is troubling that two people are trying to be in the limelight, as self proclaimed authorities of who is worthy to serving on the DVSB. Nineteen year old Ryan Balton and his good friend Nick Troiano have gone to great lengths to discredit members of Taxpayers United who are sitting members of the DVSB as well as TU members who are candidates. If they disagree with an editorial that is written you could be branded anti-teen. Ryan Balton sent approximately 40 e-mails in 6 weeks and 7 phone calls in one weekend to several DVSB members homes, mine included ! I let Nick Troiano video tape an interview with me. I hoped that he would understand a view different from his own. All I got was negative feed back. Their advise on district issues rings empty. Neither Ryan Balton or Nick Troiano have ever paid a school tax. They site their 13 years at the DV school system as “experience”. They also site Jack Fisher as their “financial guru”. Jack Fisher’s delinquency paying taxes,speaks volumes of Ryan and Nick’s experience. At a recent school board meeting Ryan asked a question of the board. The superintendent attempted to give a response. The board president had to tell Ryan at least twice to stop interrupting. It seems like some growing up is in order. TU candidates bring a life time of experience from the real world, such as raising families, and putting bread on the table. Lastly, I would like to pass on some advice to Ryan and Nick which was given to me when I was 19 years old by a US Army drill instructor screaming at the top of his lungs inches from my face, “don’t let your alligator mouth overload your mosquito butt” (I substituted butt for the real word that begins with “A.” On May 19 fellow taxpayers, please vote for Taxpayer United candidates Goldsack, Marasa, Wright. We are for “ Higher Education Lower Taxes.” You can take that to the bank. John Kupillas Milford
