Parent from the east from PE writes: Peter Llewellyn is running what a surprise; this is a personal thing for him, he now has a vendetta against the school board and just like anything he gets involved with it is for personal gain. Peter has no interest in what happens in Souris area schools. He will do anything to get on the school board so he can get under Dr. Sandy MacDonald’s Skin. Mr. Llewellyn it didn’t work when you were mayor of Georgetown, it not going to work running for the school board trustee especially when you don’t live in the zone and I am sure it is not going to work trying to run for the leader of the Conservative Party. Islanders are starting to see the real Peter Llewellyn if it is good for me I will do it. I urge all eastern parents in this zone to get out and vote and what ever you do send Mr. Llewellyn a message to give up the lime light and come back to reality, he is not as popular as he thinks he is.
