[Peace-discuss] school board elections in Champaign and Urbana

[tvchick at insightbb.com]

Out of curiousity...what is the connection between John and Bambi Bambeneck?  He is far too young to be the ex husband who let her take the fall for a murder. One of the websites indicates he was born in 1977. 

Aside from that his extremely conservative viewpoints are something to consider when casting a ballot.
