Re: Have a Cheat Sheet on Us!!!

Just had a thought....this $800k is IN ADDITION TO his RETIREMENT. So, what is his 'retirement' package from IPS? Oh, and what did he walk away from Washington Township with?

From the IndyStar: "White’s base pay is about $194,000 but perks like a car allowance, pension payments, insurance and retirement drive the annual cost of his contract to about $374,000 annually..."
http://www.indystar.com/art...

So, his freaking PERKS run the poor taxpayers $180,000.00 PER YEAR?!?!?!?!?!?!? How many people even MAKE this amount of money each year, and live in the IPS district?

IPS is not the most affluent district in the state. How in the HELL can they afford this? Ahhhhh.....by government force via taxation. And, what say do the taxpayers have? ONCE every four years. How much havoc can a school board inflict upon us in four years?

Why does each school district need a superintendent? The only 'super' addressed in Article 8 of the Indiana Constitution is the State Superintendent.

Somehow, I suspect that those who framed Article 8, and those who ratified it, never suspected the amount of money that now goes towards 'common schools'.

This whole deal stinks for taxpayers.

I just don't get it. It appears that White is leaving because of a differing vision. So, if his 'vision' collides with his EMPLOYER (aka the taxpayers, administered by the elected Board), then either White gets behind the Boards vision, or he hits the bricks WITHOUT his golden parachute.

I really get sick and tired of these Superintendents getting these wonderful 'bonuses' for NOT working, or for NOT completing their contracts.

So, what's up? Can't these clowns get fired?

White should really be leaving on April 1st...'cause the joke is on us poor taxpayers.

Yep. Regardless of the lip service, government employees do NOT want to be recorded by We the so-called Masters.

Re: How Much for an Indiana Education?

IndyAries — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:29:45 -0000

Who'd a thunk that teaching 2+2=4 would cost so much! I'm quite certain that those who ratified Article 8 of our Indy Constitution back in 1851 never though that such a large amount of money would be needed for public education.

Yep, the three R's are quite expensive....but why?

The below news article is ON-POINT to this topic. Click the link, read the article, and look at the pictures.

'I should sterilize you': Deadbeat dad of nine agrees to judge's order to stop having kids

Corey Curtis, 44, owes about $90,000 in back child support and interest to the mothers of his children

Agrees with judge's order to curb his excessive breeding as a condition of a three-year probation term

America’s most infamous baby machine, Desmond Hatchett of Tennessee, has fathered more than 20 children with 11 women

By Daily Mail Reporter

A Wisconsin father of nine who's behind on child support
payments has allegedly agreed with a judge's order not to have any more children until he can show he can provide for them.

Corey Curtis, who fathered the children with six women,
owes nearly $100,000 in back child support and interest, according to Racine County prosecutors.

In sentencing the 44-year-old father Monday in Racine
County Circuit Court for failing to pay support, Judge Tim Boyle lamented that he didn't have the authority to order sterilization for Curtis.

'Common sense dictates you shouldn't have kids you can't
afford,' the judge said.

Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Sommers told the
judge he did have some authority regarding Curtis' reproduction rights. Sommers cited a 2001 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling upholding a judge's power to order a defendant, as a condition of probation, to not procreate again unless he can show he can financially support the child.

'I will make that a condition of the probation,' Boyle said immediately, sentencing Curtis to three years' probation.

Defense attorney Robert Peterson argued the probation
condition was not recommended in Curtis' pre-sentencing investigation report by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, The Journal Times reported.

Curtis told WDJT-TV he planned to comply with the condition.

'Judges, they make rulings,' Curtis said, 'they make them
kind of hastily. So, if that's what he feels one of my conditions should be then I'm going to abide by it.'

The July 2001 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling affirming
the probation condition involved a case from Manitowoc County. David Oakley had been charged with seven counts of failing to support his nine children,

The justices said that Oakley's constitutional right to
procreate wasn't eliminated because he could still reproduce as long as he made child support payments.

Curtis’ record includes convictions for passing bad checks, criminal damage and burglary.

Other deadbeat dads have been given similar demands in
the past.

In March 2002, a judge ordered Luther Crawford of
Kentucky, who had 12 children with 11 women, to stop having sex in an effort to keep him from having his 13th child.

Desmond Hatchett of Tennessee, America’s most infamous
baby machine, has fathered more than 20 children with 11 women, according to Knoxville News.

Hatchett has been locked up for the last three years and
his sentence won't expire until November 2014.

I'm sorry, but I thought we were talking about the FFA convention and the IBE/Summer Celebration.

Have you any relevant commentary on that topic?

There were, what -- about 40,000 to 50,000 kids here for Future Farmers of America (FFA). How many arrests as a direct result of them having their convention here? How many cops did it take to police them? Oh, how many shootings occurred?

Now, what can we say about Black Expo/Summer Celebration? How many cops does it take for that? How much 'trouble' occurs? AND, does it take a LOT of police presence to mitigate the 'problems'.

Until...UNTIL...the Black Expo/Summer Celebration can have the same impact (low cost - high revenue) as the FFA convention, then why should we expect anything to change.

Oppsss...am I a racist for pointing this out, or a realist?

Hmmm....I understood what Mourdock meant when he made his comment. At no time did I ever believe that he intended to mean that God condoned rape, or anything else negative. I was happy this morning when it was reported that he was not going to retreat from what he said.

I will NOT be voting for Pence...he lost my vote when he attacked Mourdock.

Here we go.....

1. How many police officers are we paying to maintain the peace this year for IBE?

2. How many police officers did we pay to maintain the peace when the FFA was in town earlier this year?

Let the flaming against me begin........

You are missing the point, Matthew.

What "I" insist upon is EQUAL FRACKING TREATMENT for those who chose the Polygamist way of life.

Thus, the law needs to be rewritten to accomodate marriages with multiple partners.

Without coming out (pun intended), you are trying your best to refrained from calling the Polygamist lifestyle "abnormal"...in other words...it's not the norm.

I am absolutely certain that a great majority of folks believe the same of homosexual relationships - that they, too, are "abnormal".

Homosexuals are enjoying the fruits of "enforced tolerance".

The proof of my assertion? Simply repeal ALL of the laws that favor homosexuals, LGBT, etc, and see how 'tolerant' people are of alternative lifestyle choices that are rammed down our throats.

Re: A Good Idea, For the Most Part

IndyAries — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 19:12:07 -0000

Well, Duh....why not 'regulate' polygamy marriages? You're in favor of regulating other marriages. Clearly, you're in favor of homosexual relationships between consenting adults, but you are against other 'alternative lifestyles'.

What's up with that? Why is YOUR alternative lifestyle better than any other alternative lifestyle?

At least I don't see polygamists trying to jam their lifestyle down our throats. They simply want to be left alone.

Re: State Hearings to Begin Monday on Possible Takeover of IPS School

IndyAries — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 18:56:38 -0000

Well, I have not seen this asked, so I will ask now...

Why in the HELL are schools allowed to FAIL for SIX FREAKING YEARS before anything is done?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I can't imagine anything but government getting away with that. Where else but government can something fail year after year, and continue to operate?

Ahhhhh....I was waiting for the race card to be played. So, you cannot refute what Pascal asserts, so you call him a racist, and then hope that bad things happen to him. This really speaks to YOUR position on the chain of human evolution.

IndyAries — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:03:25 -0000

It's clear that you are very, very supportive of homosexual behavior.

How do you feel about people who are in favor of polygamy? For example, one man who agrees to take on the responsibility of having more than one wife.

There is actually a religion that believes in this. I have no problem with a man who want to take the responsibility for more than one woman.

Like you said, they can give 'consent', and thus are consenting adults.

Looks like we can have Adam and Steve, but not Adam, Eve, and Rachel.

The Polygamy lobby needs to swell its ranks like the homosexual lobby has.

Here is the REAL reason....

blues, for instance) or imperiling their health and clothing."

Yessirrey! It's NOT about public health...it's just CLOTHED that way to get the ban enacted.

I suppose it is too much to expect you frakking Socialists & Statists to take some responsibility for your actions or inactions.

Don't want to be exposed to SHS? Well, how 'bout not NOT going where there is SHS?????!!

Too simple for you dickheads???

If it's a bona-fide Public Health issue, then why isn't it banned in toto?

You fracking Libs and Statists kill me. Can't take personal responsibility for your decisions, so you get the FORCE of government to come to your rescue.

Personally, if I don't want to be exposed to toxins, I exercise personal responsibility and DON'T FRACKING GO WHERE THE TOXIN IS.

Where is the angst over the SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF LUNG CANCER? Yes, we're talking about RADON.

Radon kills THOUSANDS more people per year from lung cancer than so-called second hand smoke.

I can avoid second hand smoke. I can't see or smell Radon.

Are you getting my drift, Lib??

Radon Causes 100 Times More Deaths than Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - EPA Launches National Radon Action Month
http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa...

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to EPA estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of lung cancer and responsible for an estimated 3,000 lung cancer deaths every year.
http://www.epa.gov/radon/he...

WHO launches project to minimize risks of radon:
It (Radon)is the second most important risk factor for lung cancer, causing between 6 and 15% of all cases.
http://www.who.int/mediacen...

Radon and Cancer - National Cancer Institute:
Radon is present in nearly all air. Everyone breathes in radon every day, usually at very low levels. However, people who inhale high levels of radon are at an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer. Radon represents a far smaller risk for this disease, but it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Scientists estimate that 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are related to radon.
http://www.cancer.gov/cance...

Surgeon General Releases National Health Advisory On Radon:
"Indoor radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families all over the county,"
http://www.surgeongeneral.g...

Radon.Com - Radon Fact Sheet:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon General's Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon-induced lung cancer costs the United States over $2 billion dollars per year in both direct and indirect health care costs. (Based on National Cancer Institute statistics of 14,400 annual radon lung cancer deaths - Oster, Colditz & Kelley, 1984)

Still waiting on that autopsy report stating that death was a result of second hand tobacco smoke.
