You know the quote about insanity? Last week’s Hinsdale High School District 86 board meeting was a prime example, as the seven-member board did the same thing over and over trying to elect a new president. They took nine — yes, nine — identical votes before incumbent Kathleen Hirsman withdrew from the race and Terri Walker finally received a majority vote. After Hirsman took the high road and pulled her name from consideration, it looked like another stalemate would ensue until Peggy James changed her allegiance — after her...
