robbing bastards

and who'd be surprised if that nifty, last minute deal had backroom deals to share some of that payout with those who awarded it? not me.

i like how the school's lawyer says nuh-uh, nothing to do with me! they KNOW it won't stand scrutiny

“The particular circumstances in this case are even more egregious. The board gave Dr. Lucabaugh a 40 percent salary increase (to $315,000) in late July of this year, making him the second-highest paid school district superintendent in Pennsylvania, and is now using that increase less than four months later to calculate a severance payment,” lawyer Brendan Flynn, who represents them, wrote in a letter distributed to the board before the vote.

Lucabaugh’s package includes more than $300,000 for unused sick, vacation, administrative and personal time during his 18 years in various roles with the district; $50,000 for signing the deal; and health insurance for his family through June.

The package also includes a puzzling ban on any district investigations of his tenure and an agreement that he can keep his district-issued laptop as long as he wipes it of school records.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Savage nixed that last provision on Friday when he ordered Lucabaugh, a defendant in middle school teacher Andrew Burgess’s retaliation suit against the district, to preserve documents that may become evidence in the case.

“It's hard to imagine a lawyer drafted that contract,”
said Witold “Vic” Walczak, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, who represents Burgess. “No lawyer would think that a school board could insulate an employee from any kind of of court action or criminal investigation.”

I am not sure obviously of the rules,but in general the board becomes "lame duck" after the election period starts. IE if more than 50% of that boards make up has candidates who run for election or a combination of both where enough current members also didn't run in the election. So this should be a simple item to overturn upon the new board's inaugural meeting. I find it hard to believe the Administration would actually write a cheque prior to the new boards approval.
 
That is a well balanced article.Hopefully the authorities are right this time.

(Reuters) - Brazil has signed onto an agreement to triple renewable energy by 2030 and shift away from using coal, according to a letter reviewed by Reuters on Friday, joining a prospective deal backed by the European Union, U.S. and United Arab Emirates.

South America's largest country is now one of roughly 100 countries that have signed onto the deal, according to a European official familiar with the matter.

pastor apologises to congregation after inviting a 'long haired hippy' to speak in his church

seems he was more upset about the long hair than he was about the 'creationist' aspect of the speaker who pushes the nonsense of the world being created in 7 days, evolution doesn't exist, talking snakes and other mumbo crappola... said 'my heart breaks'

"There are times my heart breaks, and this is one of those times. This past weekend, November 12, 2023, First Baptist Church in Hammond, Indiana invited a group of men into their church to teach on creation... A long-haired hippie teaching in the pulpit is in direct contradiction to Scripture. 1 Corinthians 11:14 says, Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”

Domelle went on to acknowledge that he didn't "know anything about this man, but I do know that to have long hair is a shame. It does not matter what he was going to teach, the fact that he blatantly disobeys God’s Word should have alerted anyone to his spiritual discernment and that he is to be disqualified to teach people."

it's just bizarre... don't they acknowledge Jesus Christ as saviour and that he wore his hair long and taught/preached to others WITH said long hair? baffles me
 
My brother is moving to a redder state. He said the area kinda sucks, but he expects an income that would put him in the upper middle class. I have doubts about that lasting long enough for his plans to buy a house and second car.
 
a Californian city bans the installation of any astro turf now, and rules any already in place must be properly cared for since it's been found the environmental cost is even higher than just letting regular grass die and the land turn dusty.

it was seen as a way to combat drought situations, but turns out the 'forever chemicals' used in its making have a higher impact on the environment, with links to cancer, liver problems and high cholesterol:

“We’re concerned about the health and safety of synthetic materials,” Andy Mogensen, community development director for the city of Millbrae, told The Daily Journal. “There’s plastics, nylon, different kinds of materials in there. And we are concerned with its impact on our stormwater, aquatic life and things of that nature.”

Indeed, these chemicals and harmful materials, like microplastics, can enter water supplies after flooding because of water runoff into sewage networks.
On properties that already have artificial turf installed, the draft ordinance is calling for the fake grass to be replaced by January 1, 2028.
