And the school system's finances were in such disarray the state nearly took control. Instead financial control was handed off to Alvarez & Marsal, a New York firm, which recently cleaned up St. Louis's school system by shuttering schools, laying off staff and otherwise cutting waste. In New Orleans the waste wouldn't be hard to find. One problem was retired and even deceased teachers still on the payroll.

Every time I read that this happens, it kills me. I have run businesses, hired and fired personnel. I can't for the life of me understand how persons are paid after quiting or dying. It is the grossest of incompetence.

How else could the Dims completely dominate an otherwise red state?
