Let Me Get This Straight...
The City of El Paso (okay, not all but some) want to take over the EPISD?
First of all, I don't think they have the authority to do so. Second of all, should I just create a list of dumb things to say that would never happen to?
Why on earth would we want City Council in charge of EPISD? Don't get me wrong, I wanna see things get better over there right away. But can we just hold the phone here a minute please?
City council has a myriad of problems of their own to deal with...like a big effin' problem with equity of services. So we should let them be in charge of another government agency that is currently FUBAR?
Settled down City Council. I admire what Representative Niland said in the paper about what is going on and how its affecting people she represents. Good for her. She's sticking up for a predominantly Latino portion of her district that frankly doesn't really vote, but she's doing so because its the right thing to do. Every day I am more and more impressed with Niland.
But I think the Mayor is spot on. The EPISD is being like a pinata right now.
And that doesn't serve a purpose. If the City Council is all that damn concerned, then get off your collective butts and do more than sign off on a letter or call for absorption. Where were you people before any of this broke? Where were you since it broke?
If you are that damn concerned, why are you just now saying something about it. Other than a meeting where your duties required you to be there, how often have any of you on city council actually been to a school board meeting?
How about you guys fix streets, solve the round-about problems, and replace street lamps first. When you get that right, then you can take on education...

Some of those leaders whose names appear on the open letter are crooks too.
