Joe Machol, a former NFL referee, is still on the ballot for CCISD trustee. Based upon his answers to a questionnaire by Community Impact and another set of questions (see below) it is clear he should not be competing on the field. He hasn’t filed an appointment of Treasurer, yet it seems he has spent money on campaign items. That’s considered unsportsmanlike conduct by the Texas Ethics Commission and could result in hefty fines. He doesn’t have a website, Facebook, or any social media account. That’s a fumble. His heart is not in this race. I wrote to him asking if he would consider focusing on what he is good at, refereeing and his World War II activities:
Personally I don’t think your heart is in this race. Maybe you should consider focusing on returning to refereeing, and continuing your WWII activities? In the past running for CCISD was a non partisan, quite boring campaign left to those who were educated in education. Recently it has become a race between educators and wannabe politicians like Scott Bowen. It is brutal, with out of district money flowing into the district, and outside PACs interfering with our elections. Candidates must now be vigorously screened. I’ve been screening candidates for many years now and will continue but this latest questionnaire and your answers are embarrassing to say the least.
He ignored me. My email to him was based on his response to a recent questionnaire. I posted about his answers here. Below are his responses in full. In summary he believes in the 3 Rs. Reading wRiting, and aRithmetic. Read it for yourself.
