I was<\/a> wrong. I wasn’t<\/a> wrong. I was off a little. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Everybody else is making money. Why not the School Board too?<\/p>\n
