Judy Cain: Avoid the acrimony of YCCD race by voting for Kevin Sabo in district 3

Bickering between Abe Rojas, Bill Holly and their supporters is a tragic reflection of how most Americans feel about this election. The theme of choosing between the most unpopular candidates for president is playing out here in the Valley in the race for the college board. Holly’s campaign boils down to two simple themes: a tantrum about library books – a done, even if lamentable, deal – and buzzwords like “free speech” and “due process.”

While doing the framers of the Constitution proud, Holly should be given as little serious consideration as he put into his platform. This brings us to the incumbent. When asked to point to concrete accomplishments after decades on the board, there’s a deafening silence from Rojas and his supporters. Being a caretaker is better than running things into the ground, but there’s another alternative, so why not bet on that horse? You have more than two options here. Kevin Sabo offers another way – one that includes a real plan for expanding access to college and a history of accomplishments to back it up.
