November’s Choice Is Clear For Richard Dittbenner

Dear Editor, Thank you, Matthew Herron, for making clear what I thought was evident in my campaign literature. Just as Kevin Lightner purports to be an accounting “professor” at San Diego State University and Katy Roberson purports to be an educational administrator in a local school district, I am a law “professor” at Southwestern College. As far as I can tell, none of us has misrepresented our occupations

or qualifications, although supporters of the incumbents have tried to savage mine! Each of us offers the advice and counsel gleaned from our education and experience. Kevin’s is accounting and mine is law. Since 1 am not a practicing attorney, I have the kind of detachment and impartial view toward the Jaw you find desirable. Those who believe the school board’s statements that the board has been victimized by the court have not read the pleadings

in the case. This is not an isolated instance. Just as an accounting professor may spot thorny financial problems brewing in the schools, so might a law professor sport the thorny legal ones as well. It is this eye for legal analysis that I would bring to the school board. The board’s incomplete vision is costing taxpayers thousands of dollars that should be spent on education, not litigation.
