Well I guess that's what board president, the honorable, lol, Ed Kirkland meant when he said "If you can't trust your superintendent you have a problem" as quoted in the Dallas Morning News.
Wow, so much crap, so little time. First thing, Ed! we know that we have a problem. His name is Larry Lewis and one of his accomplices is you. Tell us what you really mean Ed. Do you mean trust me?
Trust me is what your best friend the salesman tells you as he writes up that pretty SUV with the 20" wheels at list plus.
Trust me is what the ceo says to the board as he loots the treasury and tanks the share price on his way to a golden parachute.
Trust me is what the con man says as he convinces the senior citizen to sign that power of attorney that gives him control of her property.
Trust me is not what a trustee accepts from employees of his district. The trustee recalls the testimony of Glori Orapello, secretary of DISD, who testified that the reason she racked up $450,000 in charges on a district credit card was that no one was watching her. That came of course while she was trying to convince a federal judge to give her probation. It didn't work. He gave her one year.
The trustee is not as alleged dumber than a rock and realizes that rules and oversight are meant to keep honest people honest. Thieves are going to steal anyway. If you don't do your job Mr. President some of those honest people will too.
We did not elect you to trust anyone. Remember the words of Ronald Reagan "Trust but verify".
