In addition, Pelot owes Targeted Strategy another $2,900 bringing the total owed to $21,288.91

The take away from the disclosures of Horn and Pelot is that special interest from the eighth and sixth district have a financial interest in having a puppet board member, the fifth district appears to be a simple piece on a chess board to be moved at the direction of others. NOT a genuine interest in the students, parents, faculty and staff of the fifth district. Boudreaux is the hardest working candidate with the interest of the district at heart, she is the front runner because she is of the district, for the district and by the district. The others not so much.
