Porter or Pelletier for H-D seat

Of the six people who have asked to be considered for appointment to the Hillsboro-Deering School Board, one and perhaps two stand apart from the crowd.
The most deserving candidate has to be educator Marjorie Porter, who demonstrated her commitment to the job by actually facing the test of voter scrutiny in March. She finished second in the voting, and by that measure alone in the proper choice.
A case can also be made for the selection of Rich Pelletier, who gained experience as a former chairman of the school board several years ago.
Two of the candidates, Randy Welch, who was voted off the board a year ago, and Clint Brake, who trailed a distant third in March, clearly would not be favored by the electorate they would serve.
The remaining two, Pamela Stoher and Linda Cox-Hernandez, should bring their case to the voters next year.
