Johanna Allen: Congratulations on the milestone, Pat! What in the world would we have done without you this past election season? Thank you for all you do and get some well-deserved, much-needed R&R. Happy Thanksgiving!

Suzanne: Good for the school board. Ms. Portillo is definitely in the wrong line of work….Maybe she can go to Hollywood and find a job writing for Ben Stiller!
