I just finished reading Mr. Croxtons’ oratory and biography in reference to his move to our community 20-something years ago. I got down to the “social glue” and had to move on to the next paragraph.
The second paragraph was going OK until he delved into Toledo voters claiming, “they’re (the voters) are robbing us as we run” into caves in flight of “do gooders.”
The third paragraph indicates that Croxton is definitely afraid of society and it’s commonality to discuss any issues regarding pro and con views regarding local social issues.
His fourth paragraph clearly reflects disdain and contempt for those that have different ideas or opinions other than his very biased thinking. He hasn’t a clue about the “why” voters vote the way they feel. He thinks those opposed to the bond are evil people hiding in caves and not caring about either the community or its K-12 citizens.
He couldn’t be more wrong.
He has no reasonable positive regard (only contempt) for those who oppose the bond. Meanwhile, “no” voters participating within the Facilities Advisory Group meetings were trying hard to figure a better and more prudent way for the school district to spend its (the taxpayers’) hard-earned tax dollars.
Finally, his last paragraph is an attack against Toledo voters at large.
An attack on one is an attack on all as he demonstrated in his comments at a Facilities Advisory Group meeting on May 9 where he clearly spoke, in my opinion, to disenfranchise Toledo voters by saying something to the effect of “It is possible the town is not qualified to make the best choice.”
To me, he disenfranchised the voting public living in the Toledo School District. The district must condemn this attitude. With friends like Mr. Croxton, who needs enemies. The voters will remember his attitude and public comments at the polls upcoming in November.
