This article tries to gloss over the decades of corruption this conch cabal has brought to this string of islands
One has to wonder why her husband, Schools Superintendent Randy Acevedo, is still in office conducting the review and why Gov. Charlie Christ or the feds haven't taken over the schools
These thieves control a $91 Million yearly budget and have long used it as a personal piggy bank
The same process is at work throughout the city and county government here in the Florida Keys but they act with impunity because they are "conchs"
.
Yep, they've built the system that didn't have enough internal auditing to catch these sort of embezzlements. This is a case where the board should either resign or be kicked out of office.
You have to wonder how many other empires have been built by crooks within governments?
I've always lived in the middle of the cornfields of SE Iowa. I know what a Conch shell is,, but I don't understand the term as you've used it here.
Does it possibly mean that they are native to the area?
I once contemplated an imaginary $10,000 in one dollar bills, turned loose legitimately in the normal course of life.
Using a variation of Mr. Peabody's way back machine .. I'd zoom up far enough to be able to see all of the hemisphere, AND track the activity of those dollars ... where they went, and what other financial 'interest' they developed.
In my imagination, I quickly saw the planet as a giant brain and the dollars flowing/racing were the electrical sparks of synapses firing while the brain was assaulted with stimuli from every conceivable direction ...
the dollar buys a ticket into a football game, the brain goes nuts with excitement ...
the dollar gives to church, the brain fires all over THAT contemplative area ...
the dollar gets on Wall street and divides over and over and over again .. growing like a cell ...
Ok .. just a glimpse into my fantasy, but as I consider the financial structure of the world, and how we are all so interconnected ... maybe I'm not so mad after all.
Consider game shows, money shows (deal or no deal), etc. The world of entertainment .. that dollar isn't really involved (IMO) with any of that really, but it is put up as player in the grand scheme of things.
Ok .. starting to rant now.
Gotta' go to church and get my head straight.
What is a conch?
Is it just me? Why the h*ll does an "Adult Education and Career Coordinator" even need a "company" credit card? Why does anyone need a company credit card? What is wrong with the old fashioned method of submitting receipts for reimbursement?
And the “stimulus” plan targets public schools with billions more to fill the piggies all over the country.
I thought global warming was biggest issue. /s
Tar and feather them. This kind of financial chicanery is being carried out by bureaucrats a 1,000, no, a million times over across the country.
As a "Conch" whose family first arrived in Key West prior to the War Between the States, I can assure you that "decades" should be replace with "centuries"!
Cheers!
THROW HER ASS IN PRISON!!! And her husband DIDN’T know she bought a BED on her school credit card??/ COME ON! He must be dirty also!!
