Making crap up.

It is not teachers’ jobs vs. middle school sports. Cut 12 of Pete Gorman’s EdShed disciples making $100K each, bang there’s your $1.2m. Outsource everything — security, food service, transportation — there’s many times $1.2m. This is a cynical political negotiation position, not fiscal reality. It is designed to provoke, belittle, and ultimately flim-flam the conscientious and dedicated Lynne Sanders across the county into accepting a 10 to 20 percent property tax hike as uncorked by Jennifer Roberts last night.

Again, CMS teachers have been told not to talk about the costs of eliminating middle school sports under pain of losing their jobs — although a few brave souls are moving closer to blowing the whistle on this evil — and possibly illegal — stunt.
