Trump’s 880th Day In Office

Angry Andersonian Clough Corbly says “Don’t forget this “Special Board Meeting” on Thursday. Quietly held during summer vacation time.” 

The school board will tell everyone how badly they “need” more money.  They will pretend they are “good stewards of over-taxpayers’ dollars.”

The board won’t admit to the real reason there is a budget deficit.  They won’t tell anyone how much they’ve had and will have to spend on litigation and lawsuit settlements over the botched building project*.  They also won’t tell anyone how much of the operating funds were misdirected to cover building project overruns.  All are the result of poor (awful) planning, shortsightedness and, yes, deceit by the school district.

We are hoping for the day when voters will demand accountability from the perps:  Randy Smith (up for reelection), Jim Frooman (sneakily bugging out), and Forest Heis (on the board cluelessly until hell freezes over or voters finally wise up).  Maybe they will demand to know what really happened with their last $100m+ levy, how much was really spent (including legal settlements), before they give these jokers another penny.

But so far we’ve watched sheeple/ voters lie down to the “it’s for the kids” line even while the evidence piles up that “it” – higher taxes – is to cover poor stewardship of your over-taxed dollars.  And the poor stewards keep getting reelected and getting their boondoggles approved.

We aren’t holding our breath waiting for a well-deserved reckoning.

[*Botched building project:  Lawsuits are still being litigated.  Blue tarps have been seen covering work that seemed finished.  Construction trailers and equipment STILL litter the Anderson High School campus (which means the meter is still running).]
