Souza: Beware NIC Trustee Boogeymen

There are only two seats on the board up for election this year. Incumbents Judy Meyer and Mic Armon both want to keep their positions. Judy Meyer is being challenged by Richard Phenneger, who wrote the letter regarding safety. This is the only seat on the NIC board that voters will have the ability to change. Mic Armon is running unopposed, I’m told due to a last-minute paperwork glitch. Because he has no opponent, the only way to register dissatisfaction is to leave the check box empty or write in a name/ Mary Souza , CDA Press. More here .

DFO: Mary’s right (in one aspect). You Merry Hucksters shouldn’t forget to vote in the NIC trustee race and to encourage your friends, family and neighbors to do so, too — for incumbent Judy Meyer. Not only has she served as chairman of the Idaho Board of Trustees and, together with her husband, Steve, given a million bucks to the college, but she understands the value of a high-education corridor. She’s light years ahead of Phenneger re: experience for the job and vision.
