You wish it was as simple as "right vs wrong." All so -called 'excuses" are not always "diversionary tactics." Just like some of you try and throw so-called "diversionary tactics " to take "race" out of matters. ;)

Not sure I follow, and not sure what you mean by "some of you." You sound like an intelligent guy, is embezzlement right or wrong? She (Bush) is on the side of wrong, just admit the error of the district's ways. Let the TEA do what they have decided to do and let the healing begin. Race plays no role in this.

Maybe he is referring to the other 5-2 vote the board had in allowing the district to continue to pay Magee for another 4 months.

You're saying race plays no role. The actual embezzlement has nothing to do with race. I agree. But you cannot deny ( hmm? Maybe you will) some of the historical issues on both sides of the line is being driven by race.

Is it race or difference in opinion?

 

Why do two people seem to vote one way and 5 the other ?

 

Could it be races voting with each other to stay as one ?

 

Could it all be just coincidence and like minds and opinions are voting together?

 

If it is race, who do you blame....all of them....just the two....or just the five?

 

I'm starting to sound like Bluedove.....making you think....

...on a side note, these problems ALSO was going on BEFORE Dr. Thomas was here.

 

Maybe.....maybe not......

 

I know of at least 4 million gone proven during and after......

 

When you take over a business/District, part of your job is to find issues and correct them......

 

I'm not saying he knowingly did anything wrong.....just pointing out some things

We have been discussing this for weeks & I can't get an answer to my question. Does the Mayor share responsibility??   Not sure if anyone knows or answered

Not sure what you think the mayor should have done.   The school district is not a part of the mayors' responsibility.  What issue are you talking about?

Dove, do you believe that if a BISD employee(s) has violated the law, he/she should be dismissed and prosecuted regardless of their skin color, sexual orientation, or social standing?

Of course!! Key words being: violated the law and not speculating someone broke the law. If you did it and it was against the law, so be it. But you have people who are wanting seem to want to implicate Butch. I ain't seen no proof.

I don't think so. Is he involved in the day to day activity of the school district? If he did find things not running right(not necessarily illegal), could he do something about it? I'm all about holding everyone involved and/or managing the district responsible, but not someone that could not get the information or even make a decision.

I'm just asking because if a school district is in your city, surely the Mayor should be aware of the gross negligence which may have occurred during the alleged culprits reign. I'm not saying city & school are meshed to that degree, I'm just trying to find out how they mesh. I think the mayor would have some say in some form. I may be wrong, but I'm just asking.

City Hall and a district office are two totally separate entities. There are no oversights between the two.

Since some like to speculate what if an individual was to have recieved their outrageously high salary totally above board on the (undocumented)condition a few "kickbacks" were to come to those who insured/granted that high salary? Knowing how the state retirement works, that individual's retirement would be based on the average of their 3 highest years forever upon retirement. For example if an individual had 33 years at retirement they would be entitled to approximately 75% of the average of their top 3 years salary under the state's formula. Do the math.......It may not be a sprint but rather a totally above board marathon with those who hosted the event having dirty hands.

Chill. You asked a question, and I tried to answer it. Not sure what issue you thought that the mayor should have been involved with. I assure you that the mayor is not looking at BISD checkbooks.

The city, county and school district are separate entities and have no involvement or oversight of each other.

 

As far as Butch’s salary goes, if you all recall he was a finalist for the Dallas ISD superintendent position and the board offered him a huge salary increase to stay. On paper it appeared to be a justified move because BISD was excelling academically and financially. The unknown question is what was going on behind the scenes.

      Funny how “MAGA” is considered a bad thing…. The MAGA crowd….etc…. Whoever doesn’t want to make America Great should leave.

      That's an interesting take, but considering that an incumbent enjoys a HUGE advantage historically, I think Covey came pretty close to an upset. I don't care one way or the other - the biggest reason being that I live in Hardin County. But I have to think the Trump endorsement got Covey that close in the first place. His only recognition was on a very local level, virtually unheard of before the Trump endorsement. Otherwise, he probably would've lost by thousands of votes instead of a few hundred. Just my observation.

      I think the interesting point is this… Trump backed candidates do better when Trump is on the ballot. Back in March Covey was up by 3%, and that skirt from Jasper pulled about 10%… and most people believed that her voters would go directly to Covey. Conventional wisdom was that Covey would be up by 10-12 points if all things went according to the pattern from March. That just didn’t happen. Typically turnout is lower in runoffs than in the primaries, and my guess is that Phelan had fewer votes this time around than last, but covey had WAY fewer votes. A friend of mine has been watching a similar runoff in central texas, and the results were similar. The MAGA guy just didn’t turn out the votes this May.    My opinion is that a large portion of the support these Trump guys are just that…. Trump supporters. They’ll vote down ticket according to MAGA directives when Trump is on the ballot, but when they can’t vote Trump, they just don’t show up at all.

      Then you should have known lots of people said the exact same thing when the alcoholic Democrat Ann Richards was elected way way back in the day. Texas has become redder and redder ever since. People, especially blacks, are waking up and realizing the Marxist Democrats are destroying them. Feel free to hold your breath waiting on your dream to happen though. That would be fun to watch, LOL.
