Critics Pick
WORST MEMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT: School Board Member Kaye “Gay Agenda” McGarry

There were four contenders for this award, and three of them are on the School Board; no wonder Chairperson Molly Griffin is getting out. McGarry, poster woman for rightwing suburbanites, gets the award here for her consistently tight-sphinctered, tight-fisted, and, don’t forget, anti-gay approach to running our schools. We’re hoping Kaye avoids this award next year, so maybe she can repeat this useful mantra for the next 12 months: “They’re public schools, not Bible colleges.”
