Principle Over Party

In todays Daily Herald they report about a Wauconda School Board member pleading guilty to domestic battery.

Wauconda school board member Nicholas Batson was sentenced to 6 months in jail and 2 years probation Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor domestic battery charge.

Batson was facing up to 14 years in prison on two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse for allegedly molesting a 14-year-old female relative at his Wauconda Township home on Dec. 5.

“This conduct to which he’s acknowledged is bad, but in my mind he is not a bad person,” Menaker said. “The school board has not discharged him.”

The last statement about the school board not discharging him is ludicrous because they can’t. All they can do is ask him to resign but they have no power to force him off.

This is just another example of why the citizens need recall for all elected officials. Unfortunately, the elected officials are not going to give us this option willingly. The only way to get recall is going to be via a Constitution Convention. To make that happen, there needs to be a Yes vote this November.
