How about selling the naming rights and using the money for the athletic program?

would've been a good way to pay for that million dollar scoreboard...
[/quote]scoreboard has already been paid for by private dollars
[/quote]You're pretty high up in BISD.....what do you think about the new stadium name?
[/quote]I have no problem with it. He has really provided great leadership. Of course i have a ringside seat and have all the facts.
[/quote]Really? Since you have all the facts, why dont you share them with us? I'm just pissed that we, as taxpayers, weren't given an opportunity to cast a vote for ourselves. I think it shows incredibly bad taste on the part of the BISD boardmembers to so cowardly pass this vote. All it did was stroke this man's own ego. I guess our only recourse is to vote this board out come 2012. It s time for some change around BISD. ANd it should start by changing the name of the stadium. That stadium name is like spit in my eye!!!!!

Yeah, I bet you do!  Are you taking some kickbacks from this clown, in return for being one of the few dozen in Beaumont that acutally support this fraud.

Dont pick on WBbear.  He's pretty consistent on being a class act.  I accept his knowledge and opinion about what goes on the inside.  I'll still say, the insiders would have much better support if they listened to the many on the outside.  Thats the issue here----BISD has not shown respect for its constituency, which happens to be its tax-base and voting base.  Future bonds and issues will get very little support under the current board of directors.  The speed of this decision supports the statement that the outside public is their enemy.

Carroll Thomas Stadium what a joke, someone tell me what he has done for bisd football, ok so he raised taxes and lined his pockets with  money from the contractors and got us a new stadium built. what a joke--- sfa-85 I have been here since 1959 and I will tell you this west end wanda knows for a fact the stadium should have been named after Willie Ray Smith Sr.----- 251 wins @ Charlton-Pollard and 2 state champions, and if not him, then what about Alex Durley ----76-7-2 @ Hebert High School and a state championship- 1st year at Westbrook a 5-A state title in 1982, and sadly passed away in 1984. Tell me sfa-85 how many football games has carroll thomas won for bisd.

None.  Zarharius, Ozen, WRS, and Durley have their names on buildings/awards.  Now how many buildings have these greats built?  Zero.  If it wouldn't be for CBT bringing bond issues up, we would have the same raggedy buildings, and portables @all campuses........

How many buildings has Thomas built?  NONE!  Anyone who brings a bond for the community to vote on, lying in the community and telling half truths about his true intentions could get a bond passed.  Carroll Thomas is nothing more than a David Moore.

WB Bear, since you are on the inside, are you familiar with Thomas giving a contract to one of his buddies to do all the electrical work for one of the new schools for around $1.2 million?  If your not learn about it.  Several electrical contractors in the area, including myself bid on the job, which is about a $400,000 job (just for the electrical work), and he gives it to one of his buddies (one of the only black electricians in the area) for $1.2 million.  Nothing wrong with that is there, heck, its tax payers money anyway.  Besides his inflated salary, and bonuses, no telling how much money he gets on the side.

What school was that?

[outanup]

I couldnt say what school, but I believe he is referring to Walker electric.

[SgtRey]

I know who they are....but if this is true Dr Thomas and Walker [b]may be [/b] looking at something very serious....conspiracy, conspiracy to committ fraud, fraud, conspiracy to committ purgery, purgery, conduct on becoming, conspiracy to committ misappropriation of goverment funds.....not good....any media guys know about this?

[82 5A State Champs]

He is referring to the electrical installation on the temporary site for Regina-Howell Elementary over on Major Drive. And yes, it was Walker Electric. I am a Union Electrician myself, so I keep pretty close tabs on things of that nature. It was a crooked deal.

[outanup]

Seems to me it was in the examiner some time ago but, havent heard anything since.

[SgtRey]

That's a very serious violation....I can't believe nothing has been done....

[outanup]

If Im not mistaken, Walkers Master license was in jeopardy.

[SgtRey]

We are in a dictatorship.....

[/quote]You are correct. The state pulled his master license shortly after all this went down. Because he obtained it by lying about his work history and the supposed hours of experience he had obtained. But I heard through the grapevine the other day, that the state had re-issued him his license back. Go figure! It seems that the guys that are honest and try to do things the right way, always seem to finish last.....and the cheaters come out on top! Kinda parallels the BISD administration, dont you think?

That's BS....I'm still in shock.... :o :o :o

[outanup]

Sounds about right, saw one of his line trucks at AllPHASE picking up material. I guess he is back in business. I have seen his work firsthand but, i will take the highroad and refrain from further comment. I will say this, hes connected and seems to be bulletproof.

[raideroldtimer]

I think it should have been named "The Bubba Smith Educational Support Facility for the Advancement of Academically Challenged Athletes and Musicians".  ;D

Congrats CBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[/quote]

As much as you are on his jock, maybe you can convince PAISD to name their new stadium after him.  After all he's done so much for SE Texas education....  LMAO.

CBT is nothing more than a self loathing, cocky, overpaid POS.

[football]

The name is a bad idea.  But talk about self-righteous,  how many raises have you turned down? How many times have you refused an honor?  When was the last time you went to your boos and told him that you were making too much money?
