After coming in third in the recent Wake County school board election, outgoing board member Horace Tart is sounding off.

Keung Hui of the News & Observer has the details here. Keung quotes Tart twice in the article, and both quotes reflect why most voters preferred to vote for John Tedesco and Cathy Truitt, rather than incumbent candidate Tart.

Quote 1: “If we make any changes, we’ll run into big trouble.”

Quote 2: “When they get on the board, they’ll see the facts and the reality and won’t be able to keep the campaign promises they made.”

These kinds of status quo sentiments reflect the evolution of Tart from parental advocate to spokesperson for the WCPSS status quo to Wake County resident.
