Like all other local authorities, the school board is the cash cow via which politicians pass out favors. It is not in their interest to reduce spending because then the friends and family would have to go. We need a slate of candidates who will pledge to change the way the city does business in all areas.

The school board is a place where politicians pass out favors. Lobbying is one of the favors. And generally, you don't want the public to know what exactly you are lobbying for, because then that gives a really good indication who is behind the largesse to the school board. That's why we need to clean house, especially Calloway's buddies. But no one cares enough in AC to overcome the voters that the politicians can bring out (or falsify) to protect their turf....

The callaways are one thing, but the lobby firm was through the Superintendant......along with alot of other no bid contracts, and now the hiring is through the roof for family and conections, so when you fire off include
ALL the perps, otherwise it sounds like a bias that negates your argumnent and continues the problem. The cash cow existed before the Callaways.....they saw it and wanted it for themselves, they lost and now the crew that won, which is what they were fighting for too, is feeding at the trough. Truth justice and the Amarican way
