And in other news. President Donald Trump has been indicted on 14 counts for using Mary Ellen Maloneys red crayon in 3rd grade without her permission. Additional charges may be sought since President Trump colored outside of the lines. Grand Jury is now hearing testimony.
good one
Watch as CTU/Brandon uses remaining $375 mil in COVID $bucks$ to fund CTUs “bargaining for the common good” stuff, like turning empty schools into homeless shelters, which will serve as convenient pr cover for his dopey taxpayer libtard base while his administration rewards CTU with 9% raises over 5 yrs making them highest paid teachers of any major school district in nation.
Same deal with CTU/Brandon’s new $1.25 bond deal for homeless/housing backed by expiring TIFs….how much $ will end up going into CTUs “bargaining for common good/sustainable schools” racket? Unlike remaining $375 mil COVID $bucks$, at least aldercridders get to vote on how $1.25 bil are spent.
yep…….and the kids still can’t read…….just sayin’
