Hat Tip to C.J. Summers

*
If you haven't already, please check out the Summer's in Peoria blog. His entry regarding White Middle School is priceless. C.J. poetically reveals the lack of logic that dominates the school board - and every local governing body in the City for that matter.

Lets see. District 150, currently $19 million in the hole, wants to tear down White Middle School, build a new school on the same site, and meanwhile close a bunch of other schools to save money.

While we are at it, lets send each student to school in his/her own limo.

Speaking of Dist. 150, it pains me to admit the Peoria Journal Star did a damn fine editorial Sunday on the District's screwed up finances. A cold blast from hell followed as Mike Bailey wrote a great column regarding District 150's financial stupidity. I about fell over when I found out how much 150 pays Terry Knapp, the president of the Teachers Union. Don't worry, our taxes don't pay his union salary. Nah, even better, they pay him NOT to teach.

I really think this town is run by the mob.
