What an insult to the taxpayers-students-faculty-staff. This was all orchestrated to have this ratera in the door. La bruja will do ALL the dirty deeds that board wants----then la India Maria will walk away with big bucks and share it with ratero board members. Why does she all of a sudden walk on water when she couldn't even get a contract a short time ago? TRANSA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bola de rateros!!!!!!!!

Excuse me I understand that la madama couldn't meet with the bus drivers. Why not Ms.Blue Blood?

BISD Trustees SUCK!!!! They don't care about academic excellence for our children, they only care about their own power and serving themselves of taxpayers dollars.

This is an extremely important election. If B'ville reelects the scum bag lawyer/mayor, we are doomed. Anybody is better than him. So I will vote for Pat, as he is the only alternative to this patent graft and corruption we have with us now.

Go vote. If you have already, go find some lazy friends and shame them. If you don't vote, you can't bitch later.

Board members keep a close eye on the vendors, bids,attorneys buddies and of course BISD job openings. They get a vendor in and a few perks for them on the side. That's why Believe in BISD has become a joke phrase. No one Believes in BISD when those in power are suing the District and getting close to being the next corruption scandal on TV.
