It could be political pressure. Lie to the public about how much safer everything is. Liked the b.s. unemployment numbers.
But in Atlanta there were HUGE bonus payments to teachers and administrators who cheated on tests for kids (changing answers). Millions were paid out. Where are the indictments?
In the VA system, millions of tax dollars were paid out in incentive bonus payments. That’s a RICO conspiracy fraud costing all of us money. Where are the indictments?
Your post is right on target IMO. You’re asking the right questions and I agree with your take on what should be taking place as a result. This is low (and sometimes not so low) grade anarchy.
Trials started July 7. They indicted the heck out of everybody in sight, 35 individuals IIRC, from teachers (who then 'turned' and testified against their superiors) to principals to the school superintendent, who is escaping trial only because she is in Stage 4 breast cancer, bedridden, and not expected to survive more than a few months (I know, I know, that Libyan dude who was repatriated. But she looks pretty darned sick and her oncologists and GPs have testified that she's terminal - even if decent physicians would lie in the first place, why would they perjure themselves for somebody who can do nothing for them? (as an old pol said when asked why nobody came to Mayor Frank Hague's funeral, "When the old man goes, he can't do nothin' for nobody.")
