Talk About Gluttony Run Amok (Part Deux)
As usual…the proverbial plot ‘thickens’.
Interesting editorial in the Pueblo Chieftain today.
It seems that people are continuing the ancient tradition of hiring and retaining people in taxpayer positions based on little more than blood-lines. And, according to the Chieftain, as I read it, it’s fairly rampant right here in ‘river city’. At least with District 60 school board and system.
In one instance, the Chieftain blasts a school admin type for trying to get his wife on the payroll. In another instance, the Chieftain looks rather askance at a school board member for wanting to sit in on a relations “evaluation preconference”, whatever on God’s good Earth THAT is.
In the former case, it seems pretty obvious that there was something going rather ‘odd’. In the latter case, I’m curious as to what the heck an ‘evaluation preconference’ is and who is, in accordance with regulations/procedures/union-rules/whathaveyou, eligible to attend such a confab.
Bottom line…at this point, for me….is this looks like a really serious mess. And we should do something about it. The question that comes immediately to my mind is WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THIS GOAT ROPE??!??! And WHY HAVE THEY LET IT GET TO THIS POINT????!?!!!!!
