2019 Alumni Trustee Election thread - candidates encouraged to post

[sarasotan]

What would be the difference between the current alumni trustees and a puppet trustee? I'll go ahead and answer; there will be no difference as neither one will attempt to do a damn thing! Everyone here knows this to be true.

Why in the world would you continue to vote for people that clearly don't give a crap?

After viewing his video, I think Ballou is particularly nauseating. I think he would be worse than what we have. Also don't want Dambly to get his way.

Sucks all around, no doubt about it.

Believe what you want, but one thing should be clear to everyone...Barry would be the ONLY Alumni Trustee that will try to do the right thing.

As opposed to those who would jam PSU and its alumni up the wazzoo? Not a great set of choices, but I know which one I would make.

Cant see writing in someone who is constitutionally rude and perhaps a bit slow on the uptake.

Not to mention that the guy seems to have an agenda, which usually means someone's out to line their own pockets.

I take that to mean you are not writing in your own name.

You're speculating about what a change in the trustees may bring about but I'm sure you already known what will happen if we don't make a change. Absolutely nothing will happen. It makes no sense to not try.

There it is everyone...the Hippo doesn't want Barry so that should be good enough for you to write him in. Make sure to ONLY vote for Barry.

Who said I was talking about "Barry" - not I

Got mine last night after Lubrano posted....

If he was a viable candidate, wouldn't he have received enough nominations to appear on the ballot?

If the last 8 years have taught you anything you'd realize that Barry is the ONLY viable candidate. For once, do what's right and not just what's popular. Dambly loves popular candidates that he can control. Why would you want to continue doing what has be done every year with zero results and not attempt to make a change. It CAN NOT be worse than what we have gotten so far.

If Barry doesn't tone it down a bit and gets removed we are no worse off, and perhaps he will have lit a fire along the way. I've spoken to Barry and I don't expect this to happen.

Don't be a sheep, the herd mentality is unbecoming.

Anthony Lubrano, I believe that you tried and I'm not lumping you in with the rest of our so called trustees.
