Mr. Laney,
Could you please inform me as to why you decided not to seek another term on the Ozark Board of Education?
Thank you!

Hi,
I saw your email and just went to the website in your email signature. There was a piece dated January 3rd that I assume you authored that offered all sorts of nonsense about why I did not choose to run for a third term. You published that piece a full week before you sought any comment from me. Why are you asking my reasons now? Why would/should I tell you? Go find your clickbait somewhere else.
Best regards,

Mr. Laney,
While I appreciate your taking time to read an article and offer a non answer reply, I am interested in what part of the article you find “nonsensical.”
Are you suggesting Dr. Bauman allows you to investigate matters freely? He is your employee. Why does he treat you like you’re his?
The article is clearly in favor of you stepping down because your hands are tied by Bauman.
He’s the problem. You’re the puppet.
Agreed?
Sincerely,
Johnny Rooster
