Board Reverses Prevailing Wage Decision

Board Reverses Prevailing Wage Decision

At a Emergency Board Meeting, the board has dropped the previous prevailing wage requirement. The board members said they had "new information" that led to them dropping their prevailing wage requirement. The only new information was the threat of litigation because of the prevailing wage requirement. "A lawsuit against the board would look terrible during election season" an anonymous e-mailer notes.

Board member James Antes, who has previously voted FOR prevailing wage, said non-prevailing wage is the best decision. But why was this obvious to him only after the district was threatened with a lawsuit - did he even check his facts the first time?"

The first time around, he simply 'rubber-stamped' the superintendent's decision, just has he as well as every other single board member has done many times in the past" noted a resident at the board meeting.

When asked, board president Andrew Duff stated that politics had no influence on his decisions, even though they clearly did. Mr. Duff is obviously no longer going to support decisions unpopular with the community because he is up for reelection. What do you think?

Well, they caved. Shocking. And no community pressure affected decision? Ha! :spits on Duff:
