Naming names....

It looks as though the Sealy News is actually trying to report the news. Naming names in the story is a big step for our local paper. We thought it was an approved practice? O.K. You're forgiven. $1085 doesn't seem like a lot of money, does it. Let's keep in mind that the surface was only scratched. Heaven forbid that we dig deeper. Could someone else's name show up? It really doesn't matter now. If and when the IRS gets involved, then you will see some serious hand wringing by all concerned.

The major concern should be with the $2 million dollar shortfall in the budget. Should we assume that it was just a budget error? Is it just a paper shortfall or with all that has gone on, is there $2 million actual dollars missing and unaccounted for? What conclusion is one supposed to draw from all that is transpiring before us? Someone will be asked to pay for it. Should we ask the teachers to work for free or can you say tax increase? Good luck getting that passed. Growing pains hurt, don't they.
