After reading the letter from Laura Michelle Thomas, who was unsuccessful in her bid for school trustee, I am glad she did not get my vote.

She describes the two new trustees as "operating on a fundamentally divergent agenda." Give me a break. They haven't even been to their first meeting yet.

I wish all the best to our new trustees and thank Laura Dixon for "just being nice" in trying to "work respectfully and collaboratively."

It's a trait that goes a long way and probably helped her in her re-election bid.
