Our School Board Is Very Entitled

To party on the taxpayers' dime!  Don't you love watching them hold up these vendors for your tax dollars??  Better yet, spending those dollars on a big old staff party at the Lafayette Club......the Lafayette Club that is managed by the spouse of one of the board members?  I'm just a lowly taxpayer, but shouldn't I get an invite??  Anyone else think this is just plain wrong any way you look at it??

  1. This is alarming!!! For Ann Bremer to serve on the board and then have the Teacher Recognition Event be held at the Layfayette Club year after year is a conflict of interest and should be against district policy and state law. For these school district vendors to contribute to this "Recognigtion Event" is a joke as well, since they should reduce the fees they charge the district rather than charge more and give back to this self serving event. Certainly the teachers can afford to pay for thier own dinner after getting significant pay increases every year like clockwork. I think the public should have a revolution.

    It's a joke to be sure, but not half the joke of allowing bork to "negotiate" with the teachers' union so he can give his old lady a great big fat raise. Say, isn't his raise tied to the teachers' contract? Niiiiiiiiice.....

    Of course we do pay old annie bremer to sit there with that stupid look on her face all night and say nothing until its time to vote on funneling cash over to hubby's operation. Oh God how the money rolls in................

  3. The irony here is that while these buffoons cut, cut, cut and the students have to sell pencils in the streets like urchins in Tijuana everytime they need something, old Pork Barrel Botts n Borg just do a money grab on the vendors anytime they want to throw a little party. Just think what is going on with all this cash that we don't know about.

  4. My understanding is the Lafayette Club gives a very generous discount for having the recognition dinner there.

    1. I guess the board didn't need to steal so many tax dollars to fund this big bash then, did they?

    2. Was the Lafayette Club the higgest bidder? My understanding is Westonka SD only does business with the highest bidder for some odd reason. Who gets the leftovers...........from the steak dinner of course......

    3. That's just brilliant, Einstein! Because they are geeting a "generous discount," it's ok to steal the money in the first place and then resort to nepotism? Where do you idiots come from? Hawaii?

    4. I now understand why you call this blog "Dream Big Westonka". The conspiracy theories you dream up on here sure are entertaining!

    1. Oh, I see, this is just a random collection of facts with no attempt to weave it into the broader narrative that you've been building on this blog. Moving along...
