First, Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker complained about those dastardly newly elected Wake County school board members who “are not from the area.” Now he wants other mayors to help him seek out “high level” residents to serve on an “objective group” for “good advice” about proposed changes to Wake school board policy. Meeker will, of course, be the “facilitator” of this group of “high level” citizens.
Two questions:
First, can you be a “high level” citizen if you’re “not from the area”?
Second, exactly who does Mayor Meeker believe are the low level citizens of this area?
Bottom line: Mayor Meeker’s latest venture reeks of elitism.
