Finally! Joe Machol, candidate for CCISD Trustee, is expected to attend the CCISD Forum held by the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce tomorrow at 5:30. Hopefully the moderator will ask some hard hitting questions that would separate the candidates. This is also an opportunity for the community to ask Joe Machol “Why are you running?”. It’s a valid question and one that he has refused to answer. He is running against a very well qualified Trustee, Jessica Cejka.
Machol is a former football referee and should be flagged for an illegal substitution. He is not qualified to run for this office. Machol has made a fool of himself when he responded to a detailed questionnaire repeatedly emphasizing “Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic” as if that is no longer taught in schools. His responses, which can be viewed below, are not only embarrassing they should be disqualifying. He has refused to file an Appointment of Treasurer until faced with an Ethics Complaint with the Texas Ethics Commission and he has refused to file a campaign finance report, again against the rules of the Commission.
The one that recruited Macho, Trustee Scott Bowen, should be asked about his support of vouchers (or as he calls it “Savings Accounts”) and how he sponsored a resolution within the Republic Party supporting vouchers. (It was NOT a unanimous vote!) He should be asked about his support in the past of white supremacists organizations and his courting of out of district money from his Billionaire Buddies.
The forum should be available online at https://clearlakearea.com/
