Grades redux
March 04, 2008 | 11:15 AM

My previous comment was to point out that this article, IMO, may be classified as yellow journalism due to it's scandalmongering style. Nothing heavy or noteworthy was written about her intentions for the land. Her explainations for the parcel applications appears to be valid, going up against a bureaucracy without having all your ducks in a row is never a good idea. She recognized that and did not finalize giving the parcel to the tenant farmers as agreed until the "i" were dotted. Good thinking on her part.
My attrib to the school grades was to point out that the story is not as it was painted by the author, you can't raise issues when they have nothing backing them up. I am sure Mr. Pignatero was a FINE student and deserved any grade he received. That was not the point. It was to point out that he devolved the article into something just this side of libel. OK, she lied about her past. What has that got to do with what is going on now? She has dealt with her tenant farmers fairly. NUFF SAID!
