“THE COUNCIL SHOULD WITHHOLD money from the school board. The board is guilty of non-disclosure going back to the last election. They have the obligation to disclose what they were negotiating with the teachers for two reasons: Number one, some of those same members were up for re-election, and two, because there was a bond issue on the ballot. The public has the right to know what the fiscal health of the school (district) is and they are guilty of non-disclosure because they were hiding it. The council had every right to bring this out into the sunshine.”
