I’ll be on the Buckmaster Show today (Wednesday) at 12:30 p.m., talking with Bill about education. Bill and I decided not to talk about the TUSD board race, which is getting uglier by the minute, with one exception. I’ll be stating my picks for the board, and I’ll be telling listeners if they want to learn why I made those choices, they can check here.
So, here’s a link to the post where I discussed my three picks: Cam Juarez, Kristel Foster and Betts Putnam-Hidalgo.
The Buckmaster Show starts at noon on KVOI, AM 1030.
This article appears in Oct 20-26, 2016.


At this point I would rather do my own research. There, I’m done.
Replace Foster and Juarez. Nothing ugly about it. Except for the lies that have been tossed around.
I hope any Buckmaster listeners who follow the link to your 2/3 ludicrous endorsements will also read the comment stream on the piece. (For those who may be wondering, Safier’s endorsements of and excuses for the unbelievably dishonest and low-functioning Board members Foster and Juarez were the ludicrous portion of the endorsement piece he links above.)
For the past three years, David, some of the comments on your TUSD blogs have consistently been better (more informative, more honest, more persuasively argued) than your blog itself.
It’s stunning that you remark on how the TUSD Board race is getting “uglier by the minute”: you are one of the principal parties that has made it ugly with your smear pieces on TUSD Kids First, which were beneath contempt.
And in your most recent blog on TUSD you had the gall to call the opposite side’s signs “dishonest.” Your commentary on TUSD has been consistently, relentlessly dishonest or misleadingly selective for three solid years.
I hope Bill Buckmaster, who seems a pretty solid citizen, realizes what a scammer you are, talking in your elevated tone about how a race you have made ugly is “getting uglier by the minute” as though you’ve had no role in this.
You can take your irrelevant and dishonest commentary on this sick district where other people’s children are suffering and…well, I think you know what you can do with it.
Safier and Buckmaster on the radio speaking into the same microphone?
I feel sorry for the mic … and the audience (or lack thereof).
