BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 My only problem with Butch AS OF NOW, is that we didn't seem to get our moneys worth. A guy who was compensated so well should have done a better job of oversight. Some of this went on during his watch. Butch came in and did a good job. Had the district in good financial standing and accreditation. Its always easy to blame the person whose left the ole' job and moved on, we all do it on our respective jobs.

It simply means that Beaumont was contributing a lot of money. Give me a few million, and I'll have a pretty nice looking checking balance. As for accreditation, looks like there are some indications that cheating was going on. We will see if that was the case. Quote

AggiesAreWe Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Posted April 24, 2014 was Thomas convicted of any wrongdoing at North Forest? No. But I stole a pack of gum once when I was a kid and was never convicted. ;) Quote

LOL!! Theft and waste is across the board. Many of us don't get the opportunity to hear about *some* other local agencies for whatever reasons. :ph34r: Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 You may want to look up the financial of North Forest ISD right after Thomas left. Is there a pattern here? Huh? Please explain!! You may have your years confused when Thomas left NFISD & their financial problems. Quote
stevenash Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Huh? Please explain!! You may have your years confused when Thomas left NFISD & their financial problems. I read an article that stated that the district began a decline shortly after Mr. Thomas left. Same thing happened in Beaumont. Wonder why? Quote

Many of us don't get the opportunity to hear about *some* other local agencies for whatever reasons. :ph34r: If theft and waste is , as you say, "across the board" does that make it acceptable for BISD to operate in the manner that is has been operating? Can you name a couple of other agencies where 4 million dollars of taxpayer money has been embezzled? Quote

Can you name a couple of other agencies where 4 million dollars of taxpayer money has been embezzled? It could be $1,000 - $100,000. Didn't say it was acceptable for 4 million either. Some are able to keep their dirt from being announced through the media, while other don't have that privilege. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 The link to the article in question is in this thread I believe. Smdh Quote
Bigcam2903 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Chill. You asked a question, and I tried to answer it. Not sure what issue you thought that the mayor should have been involved with. I assure you that the mayor is not looking at BISD checkbooks. You are correct, I asked a question & you answered a question with a question. So who needs to CHILL? I believe we are DONE Have a great day Quote
westend1 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 You are correct, I asked a question & you answered a question with a question. So who needs to CHILL? I believe we are DONE Have a great day Not trying to get into a pissing contest. What area do you think that the mayor should have some responsibility? I think it is a legit question. Quote
Bigcam2903 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Not trying to get into a pissing contest. What area do you think that the mayor should have some responsibility? I think it is a legit question. That is a good question. I was asking that exact question. You responded with a question. Read your post, I wasn't out of line with my initial response. I just wanted to know if the Mayor had in responsibility in the fiasco is all. Many get a little upset when others respond, but the some Clearly need to read carefully/close before responding. I hope you're picking up what I'm putting down Quote
westend1 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 Excuse the typos Lol Pardon me if you think I took offense. I really just didn't understand what you were asking. I thought maybe I missed an earlier post where it was discussed. So, without answering with a question, the mayor has zero responsibility for this fiasco. Quote

Here's another question: since the Mayor has no responsibility in this scenario, would she be out of line commenting? Would that put her or other city officials in a bad light? I think knowing that our Mayor doesn't approve would carry a little weight. Thank you for not being offended, you got your point across & stayed respectful. We don't have to always agree, but must stay respectful; although I'm guilty of being rude at times Lol God Bless Quote
