Lavish setting instructive

Sun., July 14, 2013

I am having a hard time understanding why our high paid principals and superintendents (I have relatives who are actual teachers) were having a meeting at one of the most expensive hotels in town. I also do not understand why this point was not brought out by your reporter.

Yes, people do get some strange symptoms and actions on Ambien sleeping aid, especially after having a drink, but it also helps thousands who do not have any trouble taking it. But we do seem to have tax-paid employees enjoying the best at our expense, not just politicians.

Where is that part of the story?
