This is the Miami school board; in a saner part of the country they'd be working the full length of their abilities such as a counter person at Dunkin Donuts. They just found out that they are a quarter of a billion dollars short of balancing the budget, as mandated by law. There mustn't have been a dry eye in the house as they met all week point fingers, pass the blame, and slash what they could. Teacher assistants, office workers, and physical education instructors had to take the first hit and bus drivers were about to take the next when one of the board members realized that there would be no one to drive the buses; set aside for now.
This is the Superintendent of Miami schools, Rudy Crew; he makes a half million a year. Despite calls from his resignation (assuming that he should know what he spends and whats coming in), he's sitting tight and ordering another taco. The school board members took a stand, too, on Wednesday; they voted not to reduce their salaries and instead approved a motion to raise the cost of a school lunch by fifty cents.

Every day I awake, I count it as one more before Miami is taken over by outside forces and away from the hands of these idiots and thieves
