Most are not “wishing”, just the possibility of expecting. Why you ask? A couple years ago I believe the news reported the warehouse manager was collecting pay checks for two nonexistent employees and we never heard the outcome. The Enterprise listed the district’s salaries that showed “janitors” and grounds keepers making $70,000 per year. They were making more in overtime than their annual salary. There’s plenty of talk about Calvin Walker; who approved those payments? Who signed off on the completed work? Who oversaw contractor work?   I’m just saying, there’s plenty of questions and reasons for concern.

It’s my hope that a new board will not be so supportive and defensive of unprofessional behavior such as not following district policy, overbilling, public rants, etc.

    The mayor would be well within her rights to give a statement or opinion on the state of BISD. However, with a city councilman that has been so vocal and involved it’s probably best to stay quiet.

Nice boat. Nice catch too.

There were no indications that there were any parents present and they charged the driver with providing the alchohol. I'm not sure what else they're looking for.

The city, county and school district are separate entities and have no involvement or oversight of each other.   As far as Butch’s salary goes, if you all recall he was a finalist for the Dallas ISD superintendent position and the board offered him a huge salary increase to stay. On paper it appeared to be a justified move because BISD was excelling academically and financially. The unknown question is what was going on behind the scenes.

You clean house

Happy hump day brothers and sisters.   [Hidden Content]

If someone thinks race is an issue then race is an issue whether the problem is with the accused or the accuser.

Classy. Certainly post worthy.

I prefer the NIV version but am not really familiar with the different versions of NIV. Mine is certainly older than 2011. I have found a discrepancy or two in mine compared to King James but I still prefer my NIV for reading.

 I think most of us agree on the basics. We just can't agree on how to get there or where to draw the lines.

Once again, more qualified than Obama was

Good Friday is almost over and Easter is coming up. It’s a three day weekend for some and a great time to dye and hide eggs, cook, eat candy and spend time with family. Food, bunnies and family are great but don’t forget to honor the real meaning of Easter. Jesus Christ died on the cross for you and me to pay the price for our sins. He rose three days later to conquer death and secure eternal life for all who accept him as their Lord and Savior. Happy Easter!   “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17 ESV

The fact that she is a former first lady, senator and secretary of state makes her tremendously more qualified than Obama was when he ran for president. 

I can agree with this

I absolutely understand but you can't just totaly blame the pawns

I have to somewhat agree with  PAM . If someone says come get in line because we are giving away free stuff and offering living assistance, then the line forms, then you blame those folks for getting in line? That’s like blaming shoppers for the long lines on Black Friday. I also agree that many in the line are truly in need and many are freeloads. Our government just needs a better way of offering assistance and making recipients accountable.

I'm happy assuming I'm etc. Don't bother telling me any different.

There’s been an awful lot of local and political talk lately. Let’s try a little hump day music for a change of pace. Feel free to add if you have anything to share.   Enjoy     [Hidden Content]   I don't know why I can only paste the link and not the actual video. Any suggestions?

You should care about what you defend.

 I saw a news report that stated El Paso's failed appeal cost them $80,000 in legal fees.

    Your district and employer had millions stolen and TEA has taken over and you could care less? The ONLY thing you’re interested in is what we think? Interesting.

Or could it be the much bigger problem is Christians that defend sinful lifestyles and see no problem with recognizing, supporting and even honoring such a lifestyle. Just sayin’

English please. :)
