Right on Larry.

And I'll reiterate I have nothing against Jo anne or, for that matter Gerri 
and have told them both that  on a personal basis at all.

I'm certain they are nice and even well intentioned people.

But, when it comes to public accountability of public officials and 
performance and the law it doesn't have anything to do with anything.

Look I'm engaged with my local school board and I know and am personal 
friends with some members. But, I have called them out publicly along with 
the administration when they in objective manner screw up on this or that 
and when it again is demonstrated.

As many know I'm decidedly liberal and to the extreme by many standards. But 
I'll call out Democrats for incompetent actions and especially will call 
them out for documented waste, fraud, and abuse or public corruption if 
again documented.

Bottomline is these are public institutions engaged in public actions and 
dealing with the public trust.

And again there must be public stewardship, open government and 
accountability.

Now, that, of course goes triple ditto for so-calledpublic servants who are 
well compensated and in positions of power like Pat Cannon and, for that 
matter Govenor Snyder.

What ever happened to the notion of public responsability expressed best by 
former President Harry S. Truman when he said simply, "The buck stops here."

These agencies and governmental bodies are not knitting circles, or social 
clubs, or Girl Scout troops, although at the risk of seeming to "trash" 
people in MCB I've seen better reconciled financial statements from some 
bowling clubs than I have from MCB in recent releases that don't make much 
sense.

Finally, as former Senator Danial Patrick Monihan once said, "Everyone is 
entitled to his own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts."

Facts are reality based and either are or are not. The other things are 
subjective and simply irrelevent at least from the standpoint of good 
government.

Say, I'm sure in my heart of hearts George W. Bush is a nice fellow. I 
wouldn't mind perhaps having a cup of coffee or a snack with him someday. 
But his policies brought about the depression we are undergoing. And those 
are facts and documented facts at that.

Jo Anne might well be a nice, wonderful and trully giving person. I won't 
contest that at all.

She has always, or most always been personable to me.

But, under her chair personship, again one that was well beyond her limits 
to serve under the Rehab Act we have seen the documented follies of Cannon, 
et al llead the MCB right to the cliff of absolute destruction.

If I said anything else it would be a lie.

It would not be accurate. It would not be factual historically speaking.

It just wouldn't be so.

Peace with Justice,

Joe
