This article is in todays edition of the Baysider:

The Alton School Board is a spineless public body; a body without integrity; and as a consequence, has rendered itself quite irrelevant and useless. The board has clearly abdicated its lawful authority to school district administrators and to the special interest teacher's union.

Wow again,

If what he wrote is true, yet to be seen, then he might have a point.

Small town politics can be very questionable at times. We have had the same problems here in my home town. However the difference is there are enough watch dogs to keep it to a dull roar. The last town employee to bite the dust was our fire chief.

He went bye-bye when he was fired for wrongfully hiring his son to do contractor work which never was done but was paid for. And back when we had the October snow storm nocking power out for a week he took the backup generator from the FD and powered his home with it on the towns dime.

The watch dogs barked and he was bit in the,,, well you know where.
