Tar and Feathers  

Posted by Mr. Ellsworth Toohey


Link to the article briefly reporting on the 40 minute prepared statement made by Mark Casaday on behalf of the PASD. Here is the link to the actual statement of the board

It is pretty damning. Noyes, Frees and Diekow get their fanny's tanned. I thought that the property owner and the environmental consultant got a raw deal in all of this. It seemed that they were both up front with the District and that the administration just failed to pass it along to the Board. I can't believe that the Board would admit that it needed to "take back the district from the administrators".

I did not hear any of the current board members take direct responsibility for dropping that ball on this. A couple of them (Dawson and Parris) decided to tie the bodies to the bumper of their car and drive it through the parking lot. Both read pointed statements.

Our only hope is that the Journal Register sells the Phoenix as it has to shed assets as part of its bankruptcy plan.

Letters to an editor so out of touch with its rapidly decreasing readership are useless. The Journal Register and the Phoenix never understood this. The results speak for themselves.

Oh yeah. Really funny. Those who have the deepest roots in this community seem to be costing us the most. Robb Frees' behavior and the withholding of very important information regarding this school site. Now he wants to push the agenda for his drinking buddy MD (not medical doctor), for the CDC and the irresponsible funding of this organization, again on the tax payers dime. Shame on him. These people are playing monopoly with our real money! It needs to stop and now. I implore council to withdraw from the CDC contract and provide the tax relief that is desperately needed to the residents of the borough! We will not get a federal bailout, it needs to happen locally.

Finally, I had an opportunity to view the meeting with the timeline of events leading up to this travesty. The timeline laid out was very detailed. My surprise was the indignation that was expressed by the members of the PASB about how they were treated for 7 years by Dr. Noyes. Many of these members have been on the board for over 10 and 15 years. These are the people that the voters of the area placed in charge to make sure this event did not happen. Not only did they allow it to happen, they stood by and took this so called abuse by their employee. Now I have had a couple of opportunities to be in management positions and this type of behavior cannot be tolerated. They allowed this to take place. I hope that the electorate will remember this as they come back for re-election. They can place blame all they want, they are/were the elected officials, and the buck stops there!
