Inbred Government

This goes to show that the issue goes beyond party affiliation, as the school board is non-partisan, but aligns itself with the administration, because they see themselves as being apart of big government. Just as the council aligns itself with the mayor, based on party affiliation, the school board aligns itself with the administration, in order to share in the spoils of big government.

So, they think it is perfectly natural to use the administration's lawyer and take the administration proposals (see how Eugene White acted when someone dared question the administration’s proposal) as gospel. Because, why not, aren't they all in this together - brothers in arms?

Usually it is unspoken, but sometimes those in government let it slip that the public process is merely an impediment to get through and is not to be taken seriously beyond merely going through the motions and maintaining the illusion of public decision-making. That is why your blog and others are continuously attacked because you dare raise questions and make people uncomfortable. They have grown used to doing what they want without any real scrutiny.

Because of that it is even more vital that the media really investigate government and stop reading and regurgitating press releases.

So, thank you Kara Kenney for making an effort - just don't let up - and, of course, thanks Paul for all that you do.
