Oh, good grief! The reason this is being made an issue is political. Robbinsdale Middle School is in District 281, and last spring the City voted to award the bus contract to a private company, instead of using District employees. A lot of District employees lost their jobs.
THIS is what it is all about—maligning the non-District employed bus companies. In their fight to keep their cushy government gigs, the bus drivers consistently argued “who knew” what kind of reprobates would be driving these buses. THEY were the trustworthy people that cared about these kids. What KIND of bus driver would these poor defenseless children be assigned? Oh, the humanity!
Thank you for the local knowledge. It makes freerepublic shine!
