Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
Victor Poole, the senior member of the Alabama State Board of Education, announced in December that he will not be a candidate for reelection this year. Victor is known throughout the State as a tenacious advocate for his constituents in district 7 and for the overall best interests of the students enrolled in public schools and their teachers. He has been a true leader in the field of education during his 10 terms on the board, committed totally to improving Alabama's public schools. I wish Victor every success as he finishes his current term on the board, and extend my congratulations for a job well done.
