- So Lancaster ISD has a $1.5 million budget shortfall, and they’re putting their superintendent on administrative leave. Which means he gets paid to do nothing. Incidentally, he’s paid $197,600 a year for running district a fraction of the size of DISD (superintendent salary over $320,000) and LISD is in state conservatorship. So Michael Hinjosa has that going for him. Which is nice.
- D/FW International has a new system to guide planes in during inclement weather, which forces ground crew indoors. Why don’t they use this all the time? I mean, the pilot just flew 3,000 miles across country, does he really need a guy with flashlights to get him that last 30 feet?
- I hate John Stossel and his wonderful mustache. He shouldn’t be this good. TV news guys aren’t supposed to be great writers. And yet he puts the sword to the wrong-headed idea that the current financial crisis was caused by deregulation, or could be helped by more regulation. Good stuff.
