Even if it is a mistake, it ought to be criminal neglegence. Was it a 64 million dollar mistake? How does that happen?

Somebody was asleep at the wheel. I'm getting real tired of us tax payers having to bail out CEO's and School Officials from not doing the job that they are over paid to do in the first place. Burns my butt!

These CEO's need to go to jail rather than rewarding them with severance package.


Is America turning into one big ENRON?

The DISD has the most screwed up hiring priorities outside of the Dallas City Council itself. They place higher points on ethnicity and political views than on experience, expertise or education. The one serious business oriented manangement style superintendent they have had was run out of town-and for him that was lucky. Just look at the history of head administrators and their immediate underlings and note the number of serious offenses. If this were a business and they cooked the books to cover up a shortfall, people would be going to jail. That's what should happen with Countrywide, Lehman and others, but we expect more from hired government officials. I don't know why we expect them to behave any better because they seldom do, but if I ran a school and there was a shortfall, I would be expecting at the very least some FBI auditors at my door. Why isn't that happening? Isn't this fraud at the heart of it?
