We sure have spent a LOT of Money on Richards over the last 10 Years. What’s going on over there?
Last year the Supt. and Board authorized millions to be spent for computers that kids could take home during the pandemic. Now that we are back in school, what is the current inventory? Did we loose any? Would like to know how much money the vendor sent to the HAA HAA Vegas account.
Over the past the main problem with school board construction projects has been kick backs in the form of campiagn contributions.
Now that we have in place the perfectly legal and untraceable vehicle of donating these same kick backs into funds like the HAA HAA Las Vegas corporations its more off the chain than ever.
And there is nothing law enforcement can do about it even if they wanted to.
Florida’s State Attorney Ashley Moody probley could do something about it if she wanted to.
