robert,
i have been an active supporter of cindy vaillaincourt's 2010 board of education candidacy from the time she announced.
i first met cindy when we were competing candidates in the 2003-2004 election for the board of education and, during that campaign, i learned to appreciation her ideas and support for public education. i also supported marcelino bedolla, another person i first met as a fellow candidate while competing for a seat on the board of education. indeed, i consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity to met so many interesting and civic minded people during the time i have spent campaigning for public office.
cindy has also been a long time, active participant in the howardpubliced list so her positions are well known and available to the public on the howardpubliced archive.
cindy and i don't always agree on education issues, but, i always respect her well articulated opinions. i do think we both believe in a strong role for elected local boards of education and share a respect for process and open discussions of the issues.
i believe cindy would make an excellent addition to the howard county board of education.
in the interest of full disclosure, cindy has volunteered time and money to some of my board of education campaigns and i have volunteered time to cindy's campaign. i also volunteered time to leslie kornreich's campaign and brian meshkin's campaign.
i believe in the democratic process and i feel privileged to live in a country where i can participate in the creation and operation of the government. my sincere thanks to those who gave their lives to make this nation.

Vaillencourt or Proudfoot? Has the election been certified as yet (11/6/10)? If not, what votes and how many are left to be counted? Robert
