Teachers Union, Developers, PTA’s Spend $ on Ads for PPS Bond/Levy That Have Unintended Consequences

“This is the boiler that caught on fire.”

They make the leadership of the school district look like dimwits who don’t know you shouldn’t have dripping water next to open electrical wires. Someone should be arrested for that. Instead of blowing up this school which appears to be quite run down, perhaps they should close it and save us some money. Gee, where’s Randy’s HIT squad when you need them? (See the commercials and who’s paying for them below)

Tiles that Fell from Ceiling

Another thought: if they just want to ‘fix’ these problems then why don’t they ‘fix’ these problems instead of rebuilding 8-9 schools to LEDS platinum status which adds 20% to the cost? Add to that the no bid contract adding approximately another 20% to the cost (according to a developer familiar with the process) and you’ve got another school boondoggle.

I thought M 66 & 67 were supposed to fix all this stuff. No wait, it was the income tax surcharge that was supposed to fix this. No wait it was the levy that was supposed to fix this. New leadership, closing schools, and trimming the sails of the teachers unions –and their new raise– may give us a shot at fixing it. Don’t hold your breath. It’s the unions world and we’re just living in it–and working for them.

H/T Willamette Week:

Here’s another one. That kid at the end sure is cute. I wonder whose kid she is?

And who’s heading up the campaign? Hey, isn’t Kevin Neely the old spokesman for the AG’s office? And look at the other government employees heading this up. Verrrry interesing (here). They’ve received about a million dollars. Wow, the teachers union must have alot of money. Oh, that’s right, the teachers just got a raise in the secret negotiations with the district which they were forced to reveal to the public at the last possible moment.

Here are the rest of the contributors so far.
