bullets13 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 It will be interesting to see how a trial goes with BISD's cooperation, as opposed to the first trial, with the old regime that refused to acknowledge that they were victims, even going so far as to renew his contract. thetragichippy 1 Quote

Bigdog Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 BISD will rebid his contract , this came out before the indictment. http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/BISD-will-rebid-contract-given-to-Calvin-Walker-5652182.php Quote

It pays to have a long memory. Glad someone didn't let it slide under the rug like the previous regime. The BE article states that he admitted to altering invoices as part of his tax fraud plea deal. So they have him on record. Quote

tvc184 Posted July 29, 2014 Report Posted July 29, 2014 It looks like he will not have a complicit school board to cover his tracks this time. Quote
Guest ECBucFan Posted July 30, 2014 Report Posted July 30, 2014 Who knows how this ultimately turns out for Walker...but wow does if feel different this time. I wonder where Butch is right now, and how much he is squirming during his sleepless nights... Quote

I wonder where Butch is right now, and how much he is squirming during his sleepless nights... I believe I read there are 4 charges, each with a possible life sentence..... I believe if Thomas is involved and Walker knows about it, it is going to come out. PN-G bamatex 1 Quote
