Wait here is how it works: The Super will create a faux scenario that usually revolving around cutting some program for the kids. "They are going to cut music!" or "They are going to cut freshmen football." It's always the same, and then the CC gives the BOE more money who in turn hides behind 10-220 and does anything they want with it.. Forensic Audit my ass! That would take a year. Ask Gene or Ed or Ryan where the money is? The same old answers.. Oh well, it's your BOE you voted for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-28529620173152593442012-12-05T15:37:39.683-05:002012-12-05T15:37:39.683-05:00C'mon villagers, don't be naive!

Puppeteer Serra and Puppet Drew wanted Frechette gone so they got the BOE to do their dirty work by agreeing to cover the cost of the settlement. This has not been a well kept secret.<br /><br />Watch who the next athletic director will be....no less than Jason Serra, who didn't stand a chance as long as Frechette was there, and now that he's out of the way, that little "anger management" issue that little Serra had won't stand in the way of his getting the job. This is why Puppeteer Serra offered to pay to get rid of Frechette.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-66879507639392921562012-12-05T15:23:25.932-05:002012-12-05T15:23:25.932-05:00We need more women on Council!

The current Board uses approximatley 71% of the town's monies for (drum-roll) whatever they want. Why do you think they were pissed at Giulino? Stte Statute 10-220 protects these money pirates as they waste the kids' money and play the blame game over and over again. Your questions should be directed to Gene Nocera, Ed McKeon, and Teddy "I used city money to send my kid to a Cape Code school" Razcka.

Why is HE still being paid - Dr. Charles has been on the payroll for several months, at a much higher salary than Dr. Frechette was paid. Does Middletown need 2 superintendents?
