I was wrong, I wasn’t wrong!

I was wrong. I wasn’t wrong. I was off a little.

I thought Duluth’s school board members gave themselves a $2,000 increase in pay. It was only about $1,000. I stand corrected. The Chair gets an extra $52 a month and the power to shut off annoying people’s microphones and have them handcuffed by the Duluth Police when they stand flummoxed too long after having been silenced.

Everybody else is making money. Why not the School Board too?
