Lloyd quells rabid rumors

admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:33:14 +0000

We recently received a preposterous warning from “Cyberdog” about a supposed “stealth” campaign of Judy Lloyd to take over the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.

“Watch Judy Lloyd. she is attempting to do an end run around the unions to take the Joan Buchannon seat on the San Ramon Valley School Board. in the next 15 days the appointment will be made.”

Heavens to Betsy. Here you have it folks, Contra Costa County’s first documented whacko conspriacy of 2009.

Judy Lloyd, meanwhile, takes it all in stride, when she was asked to disprove a negative,

There is no “conspiracy.” It is a completely transparent, public process and I commend the SRVUSD board, superintendent and staff for their diligence in making the appointment in the public eye. They are doing a great job to make the process something that the community will be proud of. Regardless of whom they choose, they are doing a fine job for our community and their handling of this very public deliberation is evidence of that. I think I can help which is why I decided to throw my hat in the ring.

Lisa Vorderbrueggen covers this topic in a different way with some interesting discussion including a Cyberdog baring its fangs.
