So let me get this straight. Tate and Phillip, while riding their high horses at public budget hearings raking agencies over the coals for their contracting practices, were also holding back room meetings with a consultant and other legislative officials to put together a $250,000 no-bid, no advertisement, secret contract to study the education funding formula. Phillip is quoted as saying, it's ok because there are only a few entities that could do such a study. Tate is saying its ok because we are trying to improve our formula, and come on people! You need to trust us cause we are from the government and we are here to help you.
Tate and Phillip are politicians. They are just as crooked as the other politicians. They thought they could get away with it without many people knowing about it. Really doesn't matter as they will do what they want to do anyway. Typical crooked politicians.
Damn - go get your own blog site if all you want to do is bitch about Philip and Tate on a post that has nothing to do with them.
KF - what the hell is the justification for putting these two comments up? What do they have to do with Fitch giving away state tuition crap?
The legislature has taken a positive action to fix the mess that the Democrats got the state into almost two decades ago. Times have changed and taking a new look at MAEP, along with a whole bunch of other shit, is good leadership.
Don't know if 2:06 is coming from Donner Kay, Hob, Brandon, Bobby, Baria - or just straight from our new independent, non-partisan news source - but it is obviously coming from the 'don't touch our money' education lobby.
Only reason they are here @4:48 PM is because JJ is #1.
i don't understand why Phillip's paid lackey is allowed to post here. He is not independent and has no clue what regular taxpayers are experiencing.
If you are referring to me as the lacky, please tell me where I can go to pick up my check. Never been paid by Philip (or Tate or State for that matter).
And my comment still stands.
