Gherig Salda?

Kent Fischer of The Dallas Morning News placed the blog post linked above.  He had interesting links on Payton Wolcott's comments on the use public school district credit cards and on the Dallas Observer's piece on last week's civil rights lawsuit filed against the DISD.

Both of these links indicate that public school taxpayers  should take an interest in exactly what public school superintendents and public school administrators buy with their public school taxpayer funded credit cards.  More to the point, when is the last time your public school trustee requested and/or demanded periodic, detail public disclosure of respective public school taxpayer funded school's credit card expenditures of the aforementioned public school bigwigs? 

Secondly, seems it was only yesterday when a sitting DISD school board member and DISD public school taxpayer(s) had to repay DISD taxpayers for a lawsuit filed over the Edison School fiasco.  More power to those who sued if their lawsuit is deemed worthy by either the presiding judge or jury.  But, who repays DISD taxpayers if this lawsuit winds up like the previous Edison School lawsuit?

Just some thoughts.

  Ward politics is the Devil's key to the soul of the city council.  It is how some council members got themselves in trouble in the past.  It is the bait that will get others in trouble in the future. 4/6/8
