Friday, September 09, 2005Cowsert: PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!For one reason or another, it has been both a busy day and a slow news day, so nothing outstanding on the radar at the moment. However, far be it from me to not take the opportunity to lay low faulty argumentation, courtesy of Spotsy School Board member Charles Cowsert: I'm writing in response to Mary Jane King's letter, in which she opined that the "the case has not been made that $150 million in bonds" will improve education in Spotsyl- vania ["The Spotsy School Board can't just demand all our money," Aug. 21].Answer: Because Jerry Hill and his School Board have the audacity to demand even more money than this referendum offers, even in the face of millions of dollars in detailed waste found by the Gibson report!!! "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" is not the way to solve the spending problems Jerry Hill and his School Board have accumulated. If this bloated and overweight public school bureaucracy has to be asked why it must be put on a diet - in the face of millions of dollars in waste - then not only do we have a serious problem in Spotsylvania County, we have the additional problem of elected officials on the School Board who refuse to work with either their supervisors or their constituency (which is the people at-large, not the VEA). What makes it worse for the Spotsy School Board is that BOS leaders in both parties are raising eyebrows - from Hap Connors all the way to Gary Jackson. That should send tremors of concern throughout this School Board, not the rapracious condemnation of anyone who dare question their (over)spending habits. I'm sure Cowsert is a fine man, but he must understand that Spotsylvania taxpayers are furious with the way Hill has mismanaged our public school system. To defend this mismanagement is untenable. Where, oh where is the voice of reason on the Spotsylvania School Board?!
