Former District 300 School Board President Mary Fioretti, defeated for re-election by John Ryan, has emerged from her defeat as feisty as ever.

She is leading the effort to convince people to contact their legislators to support a tax hike.

Where’s she doing it?

The Northwest Herald’s comment board on a letter to the editor from Huntley teachers union President Christy Henderson. Henderson went down to the State Capitol to lobby for higher taxes.

What do you want to bet that Fioretti runs for the District 300 school board again in two years?

Not a lot of taxpayer types are rebutting her views.

And, yes, I let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, yesterday.
