She also served on the IEP Task Force led by former Lieutenant Governor Matt Denn in 2014. Eastburn’s public comment was cut off due to a three minute restriction but she posted the rest in various Facebook groups yesterday.

I will start challenging legally those who attempt to damage my reputation, good name, and my standing in the community with lies.
