What is wrong with Americans? Most are unhappy with the way our country is going, but they do nothing.
On Memorial Day, I was driving on one of Glendale's streets and I saw only three flags displayed in three or so miles. Then today, the paper tells me that less than 20% of registered voters voted in Tuesday's primary election!
I had my flag displayed the entire Memorial Day weekend, and I was the first at my polling place to vote.
I want change instead of warmed-over incumbents, but I can't do it alone.

If the paper hadn't reported it, people would be accusing it of ignoring an obvious angle. I for one am glad to know, even though my kids graduated long ago and even if there supposedly wasn't any quid pro quo.
I have no stake in the story, but I am an avid reader of the Glendale News-Press. All these people writing in, who obviously have a biased opinion and/or relationship with Livingston, clearly have no idea what news is.

With this power comes perks, such as a hefty pay increase over the last six years. Also with this power comes the responsibility of placing administrators at sites within the district. Many times I have been invited to be a participant on interview panels as administration positions have become vacant. Often it is clear that the decision has already been made, and that the interview is nothing more than a formality.
The Glendale News-Press did a great job reporting the appointment of the new Rosemont Middle School Principal Cynthia Livingston ("Rosemont is getting a great principal," June 14). The article touched upon points that are very pertinent in the placement of administrators here in Glendale Unified.
The fact that Livingston is the girlfriend of the current superintendent is both relevant and worthy of investigation.
