This was passed on to me by a concerned citizen – actually, an outraged citizen. If this letter checks out (and nothing that I have found thus far leads me to think contrary to it), we see one level of taxpayer funded government (a local SAU Superintendent) electioneering against a proposed law that taxpayers have requested. Is his school system doing so well that he can turn his visage outward? Or, is this really more of the entitlement mentality we are now seeing everywhere: hey, that’s MY money!!! How DARE you take my entitlement to taxpayer money and give it to someone other than me!! Don’t you know who we are?
Paid to lobby against you on your dime! As my friend Doug said when we caught our taxpayer funded Superintendent getting ready to electioneer to a meeting of senior citizens (sponsored by the taxpayer funded Parks N Rec department on the topic of “why a tax cap would be bad for the School District): “LEAVE THE POLITICKING TO THE POLITICIANS!” In other words, the School Board should have done it – not a supposedly neutral employee.
This seems, more and more, to be the norm among the Public-Educational-Industrial Complex (which is larger, financially, than the Military-Industrial Complex) rather than what is best for the kids. Remember too, the mentality seems to also be that they know better what is best for your kids.
